This enchanting collection offers a window into the reign of Louis Philippe, King of the French from 1830 to 1848. One painting transports us to August 29, 1830, as we witness Louis Philippe bestowing flags upon the National Guard in Paris.

A miniature painting reveals an intriguing scene featuring Louis Philippe positioned between Marie-Amelie of Bourbon and Princess Adelaide d'Orleans during the years spanning from 1830 to 1848. This delicate artwork encapsulates both regal elegance and familial warmth within its intricate details. Moving forward to March 10, 1837, we witness yet another significant event captured on canvas – Louis Philippe presenting a red biretta to Archbishop Jean-Louis Cheverus within Tuileries Palace. The artist's skillful brushstrokes convey not only ceremonial grandeur but also deep reverence for religious traditions. Among these exquisite portrayals is a miniature that depicts Louis-Philippe himself as King of France in all his regal splendor during the year 1827. Its meticulous craftsmanship highlights his dignified presence while offering an intimate glimpse into his character. The engravings featuring Elisabeth Charlotte of Bavaria showcase her grace and beauty with stunning detail—a testament to her importance within this historical period.
