About
Oval miniature painted from the portrait of princess Elisabeth of France in a bust, in a puffy hairstyle, powdered hair in the style of 1791, dressed in a cream dress with a transparent wimple tied to the bodice and a bunch of flowers. Mounted in a medallion and set with stones.
Antique silver and gold bordered with faceted «Rhine stones». Not signed.
François Dumont was Queen Marie-Antoinette's favorite miniaturist. In this portrait we find all the beauty and freshness of Mrs. Elisabeth, dressed in a simple cream dress, a transparent scarf and wearing a rose bouquet tied to her corsage. We imagine her walking around the hamlet of Versailles, in her country outfit in company of the queen. All the finesse of Dumont's art is expressed through this work.
