"Portrait of Marie-Josèphe de Saxe, Dauphine of France, and her son Louis Joseph Xavier, Duke of Burgundy" is a pastel artwork created circa 1760-61 by the French artist Maurice Quentin de La Tour, a master of pastel painting during the Rococo period. The portrait depicts Marie-Josèphe de Saxe (1731-1767), who was the wife of Louis, Dauphin of France, and the mother of three kings of France, including Louis XVI. Alongside her is her eldest son, Louis Joseph Xavier (1751-1761), who held the title of Duke of Burgundy.

Maurice Quentin de La Tour was renowned for his expressive portraits, and this work is no exception. It captures the tender relationship between mother and son, with a focus on their aristocratic elegance and the intimate affection of their familial bond. The portrait is notable for its fine detail, the luminous quality of the pastel medium, and the artist's skillful rendering of textures and fabrics, which was characteristic of his style.

The artwork serves as a historical document, reflecting the royal lineage and the significance of the subjects within the French monarchy. Marie-Josèphe de Saxe, of Polish and Saxon heritage, became an important figure in the French court, and her son, the Duke of Burgundy, was second in line to the throne at the time of the portrait. Unfortunately, he died at the age of nine, predeceasing his mother by six years.

This portrait is a testament to Maurice Quentin de La Tour's reputation as one of the leading portraitists of the 18th century in France. His ability to capture the psychological depth and the nuanced interplay of light and shadow in his pastel works has left a lasting legacy in the world of art. The portrait is not only a masterpiece of Rococo portraiture but also a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the dynastic hopes of a royal family during a turbulent period in French history.
