About the piece
Painted in 1664 by cousins Charles and Henri Beaubrun, this magnificent oil on canvas depicts Maria Theresa of Spain and her son, the Grand Dauphin. Both figures are dressed in 'Polish costume,' a style popularized at the French court known for its heavy embroidery, pearls, and vibrant plumes. Set within a classical architectural setting that opens onto a serene landscape, the work captures the dignified splendor and intricate craftsmanship of the Bourbon era.
