Condition
The painting sits on its original canvas. Under UV light, small retouches appear on the duke's costume : on his chest, on his belly and along his right sleeve. Two long vertical scratches appear in the upper right, by the frame. A few minor retouches are scattered in the background. A small chip is missing on the left by the tree, behind the moddel, and on the lower left, by the frame. A minor scratch apears between the duke's eyebrows. Good overall condition.

Catalogue Note
Notre tableau a été peint en 1817, alors que Louis-Philippe et sa famille résident à Twickenham dans une villa au bord de la Tamise, la "Orléans House", peu avant leur retour en France. Le portrait représente le fils aîné de Louis-Philippe, né en 1810, alors qu'il n'est encore que duc de Chartres. Il prendra le titre de duc d'Orléans lorsque son père devient roi des Français en 1830.
Madame Varillat, élève de Régnault et de Lethiere, exposa des portraits et des scènes de genre au Salon de Paris de 1795 à 1806, puis, en 1833, un Portrait de femme.

Our composition was executed in 1817 when Louis-Philippe and his family lived in Twickenham, in a villa by the Thames, that was called ever since the Orléans House. The portrait represents Louis-Philippe's eldest son when he is still duc de Chartres. He will later become duc d'Orléans, when his father becomes King of the French in 1830.
Madame Varillat was Régnault and Lethiere's student. She exhibited portraits and genre scenes at the Salon of Paris from 1795 to 1809, and a Portrait of a woman in 1833.
