1788 Madame-Elisabeth by Adélaïde Labille-Guiard (Châteaux de Versailles et de Trianon - Versailles France)
From Reunion des Musées Nationaux; image enlarged by one third by gogm.
Élisabeth Philippine wears a dress that is almost a preview of coming attractions with a high waistline, scoop neckline, and a bertha spilling out of the neckline like the fraises of Napoléonic dresses. Her coiffure and huge hat are thoroughly pre-Revolutionary.
