Marie Amélie, Duchess of Orléans with her son the Duke of Chartres is a 1819 oil by François Gérard, held at Museum of the History of France.
The painting depicts a woman in a long, dark red dress with gold accents, standing next to a young boy wearing an orange outfit with a black cape. The woman is holding a white shawl and appears to be guiding the boy, who is looking at her. The background of the painting features a large red curtain and a stone pillar. A quiet detail in the painting is the way the woman's dress is draped, with the fabric flowing down her body in soft folds. This suggests a sense of elegance and refinement.
