"Marie Adelaide of France as Diana" is a 1745 oil on canvas painting by the French artist Jean-Marc Nattier, who was renowned for his portrayals of the French nobility, particularly the women of the court, in mythological guises. This painting is a notable example of Nattier's skill in blending portraiture with allegorical representation, a popular trend in 18th-century French art.

The subject of the painting, Marie Adelaide of France (1732–1800), was the fourth daughter of King Louis XV and Queen Maria Leszczyńska. In this work, she is depicted as Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, the moon, and nature, known for her strength, independence, and chastity. The choice of Diana as a guise for Marie Adelaide may reflect the virtues and qualities that were admired or aspired to by the sitter or those commissioning the work.

Nattier's composition presents the young princess at the age of thirteen, dressed in a hunting attire with a quiver of arrows slung over her shoulder, a bow in her hand, and accompanied by a hunting dog, all attributes associated with the goddess Diana. The setting is a lush forest, which enhances the mythological theme. The artist's use of soft, diffused light and delicate brushwork emphasizes the youth and beauty of the princess, while also lending an ethereal quality to the scene.

The painting is part of a series of portraits commissioned by Louis XV of his daughters in the guise of mythological figures, which served both as personal mementos and as a means of reinforcing the grandeur of the French monarchy. "Marie Adelaide of France as Diana" is celebrated for its artistic merit and as an example of the cultural and political use of portraiture in the Ancien Régime. It remains an important work in the study of French Rococo art and the representation of royal figures during this period. The painting is held in the collection of the Palace of Versailles, where it continues to attract interest from scholars and the public alike.
