King Louis XV’s daughters, known collectively as Mesdames de France, established an important enclave of patronage at Versailles and were especially supportive of the portraitists Drouais, Jean Marc Nattier, and Adélaïde Labille-Guiard. This portrait of Sophie de France, the sixth of these eight daughters, was the first in a series by Drouais in the early 1760s. Her elaborate dress includes a fur muff and an abundance of artificial flowers that seem to take the woven, floral brocade of her bodice into three dimensions.
