This miniature portrait by Jacques Joseph de Gault depicts Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte, daughter of Louis XVI, in profile. Created in 1795, the work is a fine example of portrait miniature, a popular genre during the 18th century. This particular miniature is framed in gold and set against a dark blue background, highlighting the subject's delicate features. The inscription surrounding the image identifies her as "Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte, Fille de Louis XVI, née le 19 Décembre 1778" (Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte, daughter of Louis XVI, born December 19, 1778).
