Portrait of Louise-Élisabeth de France, Louis XV's Daughter "Mme Infante" 1749

Jean-Marc Nattier's 1749 portrait depicts Louise-Élisabeth de France, daughter of Louis XV, known as "Mme Infante." The painting, held at the Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Nattier's signature style of portraying royal figures in a more approachable, informal manner. The sitter's delicate features are accentuated with subtle use of light and shadow, while her relaxed posture and simple white gown suggest a sense of natural elegance. This intimate portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a French royal, capturing both her individual personality and her place within the larger context of the French court.
