Date: 1822 Description: Louise Marie Thérèse stands on a small chair and holds the hand of her brother Henri d'Artois, Duke of Bordeaux. The painting's political significance as a portrait of a ruler is due to the absence of the actual regent. The father of the two children, Charles-Ferdinand d'Artois, Duke of Berry, was murdered seven months before Henri's birth by Pierre Louis Louvel, a saddler in the royal stables, on 13 February 1820 in front of the Paris Opera. Louvel wanted to end Bourbon rule in France with this assassination, but created a martyr who now symbolised the Restoration in France. His posthumous successor Henri d'Artois, the enfant du miracle, became Charles X's successor after his abdication following the July Revolution, although he was unable to remain in France. After the death of Charles X, Henri was again proclaimed the rightful king of France by the Bourbon loyalists and after both 1848 and 1870 he was to ascend the throne again as Henry V, but this failed. The masterly graphic depiction of the Infante shown here is therefore particularly interesting because it celebrates the continuation of the reign after the assassination of the Duke of Berry. The comparison with the Christ child in the stable suggests itself and the fixated gaze prefigures a claim to power that is to be honoured. The painter Louise Hersent (1777 Paris - 1860 ibid.) studied under Jean-Baptiste Regnault and became a celebrated portrait and history painter. He was a member of the Institut de France and was appointed professor at the École des Beaux-Arts.
