Description |
English:
Madame Sophie de France (1734–1782), she was the sixth of eight daughters of Louis XV of France. Timid and self-effacing, she lived among members of the royal family at the châteaux of Bellevue and Versailles until her early death at forty-seven. She wears a magnificent dress of striped and flowered damask with a hair ornament of flowers and straps of the same material.
