The portrait of marguerite louise d'orléans, wife to cosimo iii de' medici, grand duke of tuscany, is part of the so-called "serie aulica" (or "of the most serene princes"), a collection of portraits of the most important members of the house of medici. The work entered into the uffizi gallery together with that one of her daughter-in-law, violante beatrice of bavaria, on 12 june 1723. The artist is not known, but the portrait planning and modus operandi have been recognized strictly close to that one of violante beatrice, for which the name of the painter giovanni gaetano gabbiani is documented. It seems that we should attribute him all the last portraits of the "serie aulica", similar in execution. Object Type: painting. Genre: portrait. Date: 1723 (posthumous). Dimensions: height: 140 cm (55.1 in) ; width: 118 cm (46.4 in). Medium: oil on canvas. Depicted People: Marguerite Louise d'Orléans. Collection: Uffizi Gallery.
