EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, believed to depict Princess Marie Christine Caroline Adelaide Leopoldine of Orléans, was painted by the renowned Dutch artist Ary Scheffer in 1831. Marie Christine, also known as Mademoiselle de Valois and later the Duchess of Württemberg, is seen here in a striking Italianate setting, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time. The princess, who was the daughter of King Louis-Philippe I of France, is depicted with her arms folded, gazing away from the viewer, her expression thoughtful and introspective. The richly colored oil painting, which measures approximately 55.9 x 45.7 cm, is a testament to Scheffer's mastery of the medium. The artist expertly captures the intricate details of the princess's dress, adorned with delicate floral patterns, and the naturalistic rendering of the flowers in her hair and the plant in her hand. The background, with its lush greenery and Italian villa, adds to the sense of romanticism and elegance. This portrait once hung in the Musée de la Vie Romantique in Paris, one of the city's most esteemed museums dedicated to the study of Romanticism. The painting's provenance and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection of 19th-century art, particularly those focusing on European royalty and the arts.
