In this captivating portrait, she is depicted wearing a stunning dress adorned with fur trim and a pearl necklace that accentuates her beauty. The image also showcases four playing cards commemorating the heroes of July 1830 and 1831. These coloured engravings serve as a reminder of the significant events during Philippe's reign. Furthermore, we catch a glimpse into the fashion trends of the 17th century with an enchanting illustration depicting French men's costumes from that era. It highlights their intricate designs and attention to detail. Moliere, one of France's greatest playwrights, is another notable figure associated with Philippe I's time. This intriguing depiction captures Moliere in all his glory but leaves us wondering about the unknown artist behind it. Mademoiselle de Montpensier also makes an appearance in another artwork from this period. Created by Francois-Seraphin Delpech, this portrayal exudes grace and poise befitting someone belonging to royalty. Moving forward in time, we encounter more depictions through various mediums such as photographs and paintings. One photograph from 1933 shows him as Philipp I Herzog Von Orleans while an earlier painting by Justus van Egmont portrays him around 1650. Antoine Mathieu contributes two exquisite portraits: one showcasing Philippe himself and another capturing his wife Henrietta of England in all her regal splendor. A fascinating glimpse into history comes alive through J Brown's artistic rendition portraying Philippe I as he appeared in 1849. The attention to detail brings out his commanding presence and noble stature. Lastly, we are reminded of the dangers faced by King Louis Philippe I through an engraving depicting the assassination attempt on him in Paris during 1835.
