The picture shows the Duchess of Orleans, Louise-Marie-Adelaide de Bourbon. Her father was the grandson of king of France Louis 14.
One of the versions of the portrait of the Duchess of Orleans, the artist has performed on the Board, not on canvas, which creates an incredible subtlety in the details of the hand, the transparency of the clothing, the expression of the opinion of the Duchess.
The Duke of Orleans died in 1999, and the collection of historical sovereigns was offered for sale by the heirs of count de Paris in 2015 Banque de France bought the painting presumably for 1.8 million euros.

V. picture of the early nineteenth century (written over 200 years ago), has cultural and historical value.
