This portrait by Jean-François de Troy showcases Elisabeth-Charlotte de Bavière, the Princess Palatine, in an elaborate, yet elegant gown. The royal subject is depicted standing on a balcony, reaching toward a cherub holding a basket of flowers, symbolizing her grace and refinement. The composition features an additional cherub with a bow and arrow at her feet, alluding to the power of love. This Rococo-style work exemplifies the decorative details and playful nature of the period.
