Painting Description
"Portrait of a Lady said to be Madame Adelaide, Daughter of Louis XV Playing a Harp" is an 18th-century oil painting by the French artist Louis Michel van Loo, who was a prominent portraitist at the court of King Louis XV. The painting is believed to depict Princess Adelaide of France (1732–1800), the fourth daughter of King Louis XV, engaged in playing the harp, an instrument associated with genteel and aristocratic education during the period.
Louis Michel van Loo (1707–1771) was part of the Van Loo family of painters and was appointed court painter to King Louis XV in 1765. His works are characterized by their refined elegance and the detailed representation of his subjects' attire and surroundings, which was typical of the Rococo style that flourished during his time.
The portrait is notable for its depiction of the royal subject in a moment of leisure and artistic pursuit, which reflects the cultural values and the patronage of the arts by the French nobility in the 18th century. The painting captures the grace and poise of Madame Adelaide, emphasizing her role as both a princess and a patroness of the arts. The attention to detail in the rendering of the harp and the luxurious fabrics of her dress exemplifies Van Loo's skill in portraying the opulence of the royal court.
While the painting is attributed to Van Loo and the subject is said to be Madame Adelaide, it is important to note that the identification of the sitter is based on tradition and the stylistic elements of the period rather than definitive historical evidence. As with many historical portraits, the passage of time may have obscured the precise details of the painting's origins and the identity of its subject.
The "Portrait of a Lady said to be Madame Adelaide, Daughter of Louis XV Playing a Harp" remains an important work within the oeuvre of Louis Michel van Loo and serves as a valuable example of French Rococo portraiture, offering insights into the cultural and artistic milieu of the 18th-century French aristocracy.
