Louise-Marie-Adélaïde de Bourbon-Penthièvre is sitting on a red velvet couch with her elbow on the armrest and her hand holding her chin upward. She is dressed in a white silk and muslin negligee, along with a kerchief on her head. Her expression is longing and melancholic. Representing the norm for portraiture at the time, but also her separation from her children and husband, who were exiled.
