Louis Jean Marie de Bourbon with his daughter Louise Marie Adélaïde de Bourbon, wife of the future Philippe Égalité and Duchess of Orléans

Charpentier employs hallmark Rococo techniques, blending delicate textures of clothing and natural elements with expressive, warm colors. The detailed rendering of the garden backdrop, complete with a fountain, further enhances the Rococo emphasis on leisure and natural beauty.

Created during a transitional period in Charpentier's career, as he shifted from genre scenes to royal portraits, this work is part of his series featuring the Duke of Penthièvre's family. The painting is now part of the Palace of Versailles' collection.

Commissioned in 1768, the painting reflects the aristocratic tastes of the late Rococo period, just before the French Revolution. It also highlights Charpentier's versatility, given his other notable works, including a portrait of Marie-Antoinette.

While not as widely recognized as some of Charpentier's other works, this portrait contributes to the historical record of 18th-century French aristocracy and the artistic evolution of the Rococo period, preserved within the esteemed collection of the Palace of Versailles.
