This modern interpretation of a dress worn by Madame Elisabeth in a contemporary portrait by Charles Leclerq was created and displayed for the recent (and sadly, concluded!) exhibition on Madame Elisabeth, which was held at her estate of Montreuil.

The portrait which inspired this dress was completed in 1783, when Elisabeth was only 19 years old.
Images taken during the construction of the desk were, fortunately for us, uploaded to the official Conseil général des Yvelines Flickr page. You can view the full set here.
