Pair of miniatures by Louise Péron Barbault de La Broue de Saint Avit, one (Louis XVI)  signed below on the left : Louise P. La Broue.

She gives us a posthumous portrait of King Louis XVI (1754-1792) and an unpublished portrait of his daughter : Marie-Thérèse Charlotte de France, Madam Royale, Duchess of Angoulême (1778-185 ). The Princess is represented during her emigration, by 1810-1814, she wears in medallion, the miniature portrait of her parents Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette with her brother Louis XVII, painted in greyness in profil.

Louise Péron de La Broue de Saint Avit is a pupil of Elisabeth Vigée-Le Brun. She left for emigration during french Revolution and exposed miniatures in Berlin in 1794, in Altona by 1810, in Hamburg from 1820 till 1825, then she  returned in France. Did she meet the princess exiles during their common emigration ? It is what could let think this Madame Royale's unpublished portrait.

Then original frames of modest quality for royal portraits, testify of the precariousness of lives for the French emigrants in these times.

There is another version (by the same artist but unsigned) of these 2 miniatures in House of Orange-Nassau's colleclections ( comunication CPDHS), exibited in Brusels in 1882.
