Created: 1841 Material, technology: oil, canvas Size: 121 x 98.7 cm Description: The attribution is based on a full-length variant in Versailles. It is typical of Winterhalter’s female portraits that each format has specific backgrounds in general: the representative variants have architectural and park settings, the busts are in front of open landscapes with a low horizon. The list of the painter’s more than 500 works published by Franz Wild in 1894 also includes the knee-length portrait of the Belgian queen. Louise-Marie d’Orléans was the wife of Belgian king Leopold I and daughter of Louis Philippe I of France. |
