專家說明

The sitter was the eldest child of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette and married her cousin the Duke of Angoulême, the eldest son of the future King Charles X of France. She survived the Reign of Terror but was imprisoned until 18 December 1795, meaning that the present portrait was painted shortly after her release. She stayed in Austria until 4 May 1799 and remained in exile until 1815 when she returned to France.
The present portrait miniature compares closely with a three-quarters length oil on canvas portrait of the same sitter by Füger (now in the Hermitage, inv. no. ГЭ-1344) which was painted circa 1796 during her period of exile in Vienna.
The portrait miniature worn around the sitter’s neck is probably a miniature en grisaille by Piat Joseph Sauvage (1744-1818).
