Biscuit porcelain bust representing Marie-Adélaïde of Savoy after the marble by Antoine Coysevox (1640-1720) made in 1710 and kept at the Palace of Versailles.
Marie-Adélaïde of Savoy (1685-1711) was a princess from the House of Savoy, Duchess of Burgundy, then Dauphine of France, and mother of the future King Louis XV. The bust, created in 1710, a year before the Duchess of Burgundy's death, depicts her in all her majesty. She wears a tall, curly wig and a dress adorned with a necklace, covered by a fur-lined mantle decorated with fleurs-de-lis, the symbol of royalty. The central jewel is a profile portrait of Louis XIV. The face, with its fine, regular features, and the piercing gaze express the Duchess's strong character. This bust testifies to the artist's technical virtuosity, evident in the attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the fur, the delicacy of the hairstyle, and the preciousness of the jewels. Signed "Carlier" on the back. Apocryphal Sèvres mark with date letter D (1755-1756).
