Known for her elegance and grace, she was captured in various artworks that showcase her beauty and influence. In "La Sultane Lisant, " we see Marie Adelaide as a lady in Turkish costume, engrossed in reading on a divan. The oil on canvas painting portrays her intellectual curiosity and love for literature. Another striking portrayal is seen in "Madame Adelaide de France, 1750. " Drawn with blue pencil, this sketch captures the essence of her regal presence and noble lineage. "Holding a Fan, " painted around 1752, depicts Madame Adelaide exuding poise while elegantly holding a fan. Her refined manners are evident as she commands attention with every gesture. A later portrait from 1784 showcases Princess Marie Adelaide's maturity and wisdom. The artist skillfully captures her dignified expression, reflecting the years of experience she had gained throughout her life. Family ties are also highlighted through artwork such as "Louis Jean Marie de Bourbon with his daughter Louise Marie Adelaide de Bourbon.

In one particularly enchanting depiction titled "Princess Marie Adelaide of France as Diana, " we witness the princess embodying the goddess of hunting. This portrayal symbolizes both strength and femininity within this remarkable woman. The collection also includes pieces related to important events in Marie Adelaide's life.
