This print showcases the exquisite portrait of Marie-Therese de Savoie-Carignan, Princess of Lamballe. Painted by Antoine Francois Callet on a grand canvas measuring 214x158 cm, this masterpiece resides in the prestigious Chateau de Versailles in France. Marie-Therese's beauty is immortalized in this oil painting, as she gazes serenely at the viewer. Adorned with a garland and an elaborate wig, her elegance is further enhanced by delicate roses that grace her presence. The artist skillfully captures every detail, from her perfectly rouged cheeks to the intricate fashion of her time.

This print not only serves as a visual testament to Marie-Therese's timeless beauty but also reminds us of the fragility and unpredictability of life during such turbulent times. It offers us a glimpse into an era where art and aristocracy collided with revolution and unrest. With its historical significance and artistic brilliance, this image transports us back to 18th-century France while leaving us pondering about the complexities of human existence captured within its brushstrokes.
