EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Queen Maria Leszczynska of France and her infant son, Louis, the Dauphin. Taken in the 18th century by an unknown artist, this portrait captures a tender moment between mother and child. The queen exudes elegance and grace as she cradles her precious baby boy in her arms. What makes this image particularly intriguing is that young Louis is dressed in girls' clothing, which was a common practice for boys during that time period. This choice of attire highlights the cultural norms and fashion trends prevalent in 18th-century France. The original painting by Alexis Simon Belle can be found at the palace of Versailles, adding to its historical significance. This print comes from "La Revue De L'Art Ancien et Moderne" a renowned art publication from July-December 1903. Queen Maria Leszczynska was not only a devoted mother but also played an important role as the wife of King Louis XV of France. Her Polish heritage brought diversity to the French court, making her an influential figure within European royalty. This print serves as a beautiful testament to maternal love and royal lineage. It allows us to glimpse into the lives of these historical figures while appreciating their timeless beauty captured through artistry and photography.
