Marie Therese Charlotte de France, Duchesse d'Angouleme (1778-1854): A Regal Portrait from the Age of Enlightenment This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the likeness of Marie Therese Charlotte de France, Duchesse d'Angouleme, the eldest child of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette of Austria. Born on December 15, 1778, Marie Therese Charlotte was the eldest of the future King Louis-Philippe I of France's siblings. Her birth brought hope to the French monarchy during a time of political instability and economic hardship. The portrait, taken from the renowned collection "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Paul Lacroix, published by Le Bibliophile Jacob in Paris in 1852, showcases the Duchess in her regal attire. Marie Therese Charlotte's elegant and refined appearance is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the French court during the late 18th century. Her dress, adorned with intricate embroidery and delicate lace, is a symbol of the wealth and power of the Bourbon monarchy. The Duchess's expression is serene and poised, reflecting the grace and composure expected of a member of the French royal family. Her dark hair, styled in an elegant chignon, is contrasted by her fair complexion and piercing blue eyes. The background of the portrait is simple, allowing the viewer's focus to remain on the Duchess herself. Marie Therese Charlotte's life was marked by tragedy and political upheaval. She witnessed the fall of the Bourbon monarchy and the execution of her parents during the French Revolution. Despite these hardships, she continued to uphold her royal duties and maintained her loyalty to the French crown. Her story is a reminder of the complex and often tumultuous history of the French monarchy during the Age of Enlightenment.
