About the piece

This 1770 portrait by Louis-Michel van Loo captures Louise-Thérèse d'Orléans, Duchesse de Bourbon, with a soft, regal expression. The artist's mastery is evident in the rendering of the voluminous, light-catching silk cloak and the delicate flesh tones of the sitter, set against a dramatic, dark interior background with architectural elements.
