1. Title: Princess Elisabeth Charlotte, Madame Palatine (1652-1722): A Regal Portrait of the Second Wife of Philippe, Duke of Orleans 2. Description: This handcoloured lithograph showcases the elegant and refined appearance of Princess Elisabeth Charlotte, also known as Madame Palatine, the second wife of Philippe, Duke of Orleans. Born as Charlotte Elisabeth de Baviere, she was a member of the prestigious House of Wittelsbach from Bavaria. The portrait, created by the renowned artist Bonnard, was published in the esteemed collection "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Le Bibliophile Jacob, also known as Paul Lacroix, in Paris in 1852. Elisabeth Charlotte's regal attire, adorned with intricate gold embroidery and lace, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the French court during the late 17th century. Her elaborate hairstyle, featuring a high bun and ornate curls, is a testament to the intricate coiffures popular during this period. The princess's piercing gaze and confident posture convey her intelligence, grace, and inner strength. Elisabeth Charlotte's marriage to Philippe, Duke of Orleans, took place in 1671, making her the Duchess of Orleans. The union was significant as it strengthened the alliance between France and Bavaria. The couple had a happy and harmonious marriage, and Elisabeth Charlotte played an essential role in the French court, supporting her husband and acting as a trusted advisor to her stepson, King Louis XIV. This exquisite lithograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and appearance of a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on French history.
