"Portrait presumed to be Louise Diane d'Orléans (1716–1736) as Flora" (1731) is a notable work by the French painter Jean-Marc Nattier, who was renowned for his portraiture, particularly of the women of the French court. This painting is believed to depict Louise Diane d'Orléans, the youngest daughter of Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, and his wife, Françoise Marie de Bourbon, legitimised daughter of Louis XIV and Madame de Montespan. The work is characteristic of Nattier's style, which often involved portraying his subjects as figures from classical mythology, thereby combining the elegance of contemporary fashion with the gravitas of historical allegory.

In this portrait, the presumed Louise Diane is depicted as Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers and the season of spring. This choice of representation aligns with the conventions of 18th-century portraiture, where nobility and royalty were often idealised through the lens of classical antiquity. The subject is adorned with a floral wreath and holds a bouquet, reinforcing her association with the goddess. The painting's composition, use of color, and the delicate rendering of textiles and flowers exemplify Nattier's skill in capturing both the opulence of the era and the individual charm of his sitters.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical context. It reflects the Rococo taste that dominated French art during the reign of Louis XV, characterized by lightness, grace, and an emphasis on depicting the leisurely pursuits of the aristocracy. As a court painter, Nattier's works were influential in shaping the visual representation of the French elite, and this portrait is a testament to his ability to blend portraiture with mythological themes to create images that were both flattering and imaginative.

The "Portrait presumed to be Louise Diane d'Orléans as Flora" remains an important piece in the study of 18th-century French painting, offering insights into the social and artistic conventions of the time. Its attribution to Louise Diane d'Orléans, while not definitively established, adds an additional layer of interest to the work, inviting further research and discussion regarding the identities of historical portrait subjects.
