Original Description
The enchanting portrait "Child Portraits of Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte of France (1778-1851), Future Duchess of Angoulême, and Louis-Joseph-Xavier of France (1781-89), Premier Dauphin" (1784) by Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun radiates Rococo elegance infused with Neoclassical restraint. Painted at the twilight of Versailles' golden age, the work captures royal siblings bathed in soft, pearlescent light – Marie-Thérèse's russet curls contrasting with Louis-Joseph's powdered coiffure as they cradle a basket of flowers, symbolizing purity. Vigée Le Brun, Marie Antoinette's favorite portraitist, displays her signature ability to blend formal grandeur with tender intimacy, the silk textures rendered with virtuosic brushwork while maintaining emotional authenticity. Historically significant as one of the last depictions of the doomed Dauphin before his tragic death, the painting represents a pinnacle of 18th-century aristocratic portraiture, showcasing the artist's revolutionary shift from ornate frivolity toward more naturalistic child representations that would influence Romanticism.
For interior placement, this masterpiece yearns for a transitional space balancing classic and contemporary elements. Consider mounting a museum-quality reproduction in an ornate Louis XVI-style frame within a neomodern office or formal sitting room, where its palette of blush pinks and duck-egg blues can harmonize with Farrow & Ball's subdued heritage hues. The ideal hanging height positions the children's eyes at 57-60 inches from the floor, creating an intimate dialogue in spaces with 9-foot ceilings. Pair with giltwood consoles and celadon porcelain accents to echo its rocaille details, or create striking contrast against matte navy walls in a boardroom setting. For smaller spaces, opt for a detailed 24"x30" reproduction above a escritoire, using directional picture lighting to recreate the original's luminous quality while maintaining proportional balance with surrounding furnishings.
