Painting Description
"Portrait of Marie Clotilde of France (1759–1802), also known as Madame Clotilde, Queen of Sardinia" is an 18th-century oil painting by the French artist François-Hubert Drouais. The portrait depicts Marie Clotilde of France, who was the younger sister of King Louis XVI of France and later became the Queen of Sardinia by marriage to Charles Emmanuel IV. Born on 23 September 1759, Marie Clotilde was affectionately called "Gros-Madame" due to her large build. She was known for her piety and charitable works, which earned her considerable respect and admiration.
Drouais, a prominent portraitist of the French nobility, completed the work in 1767 when Marie Clotilde was just eight years old. The painting is a testament to the Rococo style, which was prevalent during the period, characterized by its soft colors, graceful compositions, and a focus on depicting the leisurely life of the aristocracy. In the portrait, Marie Clotilde is elegantly dressed in the fashion of the time, adorned with the finery befitting her royal status. Her pose and expression convey the poise and dignity expected of a princess of the Ancien Régime.
The portrait is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, capturing the likeness of a member of the French royal family just before the tumultuous events of the French Revolution. It provides insight into the representation of royal children and the role of portraiture in reinforcing the image of the monarchy. The painting is held in a notable art collection, although its current location may vary due to loans and exhibitions.
As a work of art, "Portrait of Marie Clotilde of France" by François-Hubert Drouais is an important piece that contributes to the understanding of French portraiture and the broader cultural and political landscape of 18th-century Europe.
