"Ferdinand-Philippe-Louis-Charles-Henri, Duc d'Orléans I" is a portrait by the French Neoclassical painter Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, depicting the eldest son of King Louis-Philippe I of France. Painted in 1842, this work is a significant example of Ingres's portraiture, which captures the dignity and stature of the royal subject. The Duc d'Orléans, also known as Ferdinand-Philippe, was the heir apparent to the French throne and held the title of Prince Royal. He was a popular figure in France, known for his liberal views and military service.

Ingres, renowned for his meticulous technique and the linear precision in his works, presents the Duc d'Orléans in a formal yet introspective manner. The portrait is characterized by its refined brushwork, harmonious color palette, and the psychological depth it conveys. The sitter is dressed in military regalia, reflecting his role and responsibilities as a leader and soldier. The composition and the restrained opulence of the attire highlight the sitter's royal status without overshadowing his individuality.

The portrait was commissioned at a time when Ingres was the preeminent portraitist in France, celebrated for his ability to combine realism with idealization. His portrayal of the Duc d'Orléans is consistent with the artist's approach to his subjects, where he sought to transcend mere likeness to capture the essence of their character and social position.

This painting is not only a testament to Ingres's mastery of portraiture but also serves as a historical document, representing a key figure in the French monarchy during the July Monarchy. The untimely death of the Duc d'Orléans in a carriage accident in 1842, the same year the portrait was completed, adds a layer of poignancy to the work, which has since been appreciated as much for its artistic merit as for its commemorative value.

The portrait of Ferdinand-Philippe-Louis-Charles-Henri, Duc d'Orléans I by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres is held in a prestigious collection, and it continues to be studied and admired for its elegance and its place within the broader context of 19th-century French painting.
