EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pen and ink drawing captures the intimate interior of Marie-Therese de Savoie, comtesse d'Artois' bedroom in Versailles on the momentous day of her son's birth in 1775. The attention to detail is impeccable, from the ornate canopy bed to the grand chandelier casting a warm light over the room.
The artist, Francois-Joseph Belanger, has skillfully depicted a scene filled with anticipation and excitement as members of the court royal gather around to celebrate this joyous occasion. The delicate watercolor washes bring life to each figure in their 18th-century fashion, adding depth and richness to the composition.
Marie-Therese herself is portrayed with grace and elegance, surrounded by luxurious furniture and decorative elements that speak to her noble status. The fireplace crackles with warmth as she awaits the arrival of her newborn son, Louis-Antoine d'Artois, duc d'Angouleme.
This stunning artwork not only showcases Belanger's talent as a draughtsman but also offers a glimpse into the opulent world of French royalty during this period. It is a testament to both historical significance and artistic beauty that continues to captivate viewers centuries later.
