This portrait captures the elegance and tenderness of Louise-Elisabeth de France, Duchess of Parma, and her beloved son Ferdinand. Painted in 1786 by Adelaide Labille-Guiard, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 272x160 cm and is currently housed at the Château de Versailles in France. Louise-Elisabeth, daughter of Louis XV, exudes grace as she stands on a balcony adorned with lush greenery. Her exquisite period dress drapes beautifully around her figure, accentuating her regal stature. A magnificent plumed hat adorns her head while a delicate collar frames her face. In one hand she holds a parrot perched on a golden stand, adding an exotic touch to the composition. The focal point of the painting is undoubtedly young Ferdinand who stands beside his mother.

As we admire this timeless work of art, we are reminded of love's enduring power and its
