Louise is depicted here in a relaxed but rather sombre looking pose. Her greying hair is contrasted with her young complexion, indeed, Horace Walpole claimed that she looked un-regal on a visit to England in 1791.
Fabre became a close companion of Louise in the later years of her life and painted several portraits of her. He provided the foundations of the Fabre Museum in Montpellier, donating his vast art collection for the enjoyment of all. The museum also benefited from bequests made by Louise.
