"according to the old label on the reverse, it is maria adelaide of savoy (1685-1712), the mother of king louis xv. Although no physiological similarity can be found in terms of style, the small painting should be seen in the context of the veneration of the later much-loved king louis xv. The princess is on a pillow bed with her arm propped up and looking towards the viewer, under a canopy on a fluted column. In the left background there is a view of a park with a fountain and other winged cupids. The french-bourbon colors of blue, white and red are particularly emphasized in the picture in the clothing and sheet. (1240135) (11)" [1]. Date: turn of the 17/18th century.
