Elisabeth-Charlotte d'Orléans, Duchess of Lorraine

Executed in oil on canvas, the painting employs a limited palette that highlights the contrast between the luminous gold fabric and the deep brown background. Fine brushwork defines the lace collar and the texture of the shawl, while broader strokes suggest the floral pattern on the dress, creating a balance between detail and overall harmony.

The portrait was commissioned to commemorate Elisabeth‑Charlotte’s position as Duchess of Lorraine, though specific details of its creation date and original patron remain undocumented. The work has since entered public collections, where it serves as a visual record of the duchess’s appearance and the fashion of her era.
