Painting Description
"Portrait of Louise Élisabeth de France and her Son Ferdinand" is an 18th-century oil painting by the French artist Adélaïde Labille-Guiard, a prominent female portraitist of the time. The painting, dated to 1788, depicts Louise Élisabeth de France (1727–1759), the eldest daughter of King Louis XV of France, alongside her son, Ferdinand, Duke of Parma (1751–1802). The portrait is significant for its representation of royal lineage and maternal affection, as well as for showcasing the skill of Labille-Guiard, who was one of the few women admitted to the prestigious Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1783.
In the painting, Louise Élisabeth is elegantly attired in a sumptuous dress reflecting her royal status, while her son, the future ruler of Parma, stands beside her in a dignified pose. The composition of the work, with its careful attention to the details of their garments and the tender interaction between mother and child, exemplifies the Rococo style that was prevalent in the French court during the period.
Labille-Guiard's portrait is not only a testament to her artistic talent but also an important historical document, capturing the likenesses of members of the Bourbon dynasty during a time of significant political and social change leading up to the French Revolution. The painting is housed in the collection of the Palace of Versailles, a fitting location given the subjects' royal connections and the artist's association with the French court.
This portrait is particularly noteworthy as it contributes to the understanding of the role of women artists in the 18th century, a period when they faced considerable challenges in pursuing professional careers in the arts. Adélaïde Labille-Guiard's success, as evidenced by this and other works, marked a significant achievement in the struggle for recognition of female artists during the Ancien Régime.
