Original 19th-century engraving, burin and etching, after the painting by Pierre Mignard in the Royal Collection: a full-length portrait of the Duchess of Orleans seated beside a vase of flowers, with her two children. Engraved by Herbert Bourne for The Art Journal of London.

It comes from S.C. Hall's Royal Gallery of Art and was reissued in The Art Journal of 1860. The lettering identifies the sitter as Henrietta Anne of England, daughter of Charles I, but modern scholarship recognizes in the painting Elisabeth Charlotte of the Palatinate, second wife of Philippe of Orleans, with her children Philippe and Elisabeth Charlotte.

Artist / after: The painting by Pierre Mignard (1612-1695).
Engraver: Herbert Bourne (c. 1825-1907).
Date: 1860.

Dimensions: Image 10.0 x 7.9 in (25.5 x 20 cm).
