Portrait of Marie Louise-Elisabeth d'Orléans is a 1838 oil by Auguste de Châtillon, held at Palace of Versailles.
This portrait features a woman in a vibrant orange dress, adorned with intricate gold embroidery and a blue and white cape. Her hair is styled in an updo, complemented by a small hairpiece. The woman's right hand is extended outward, while her left hand holds the cape. A delicate brooch on her dress adds a touch of elegance. The background of the painting is a dark, muted color, which contrasts with the vibrant hues of the woman's attire. The overall effect is one of refinement and poise.
