TWW Comment

Palais-Royal was the Parisian court of the duc d'Orléans. Marie d'Albert de Luynes (Duchess of Chaulnes) probably posed during a social event at the Parisian court of the duc d'Orléans. At the duke's parties, master of ceremonies Louis Carmontelle entertained guests by drawing on-the-spot portraits.

The Palais-Royal now serves as the seat of the Ministry of Culture, the Conseil d'État and the Constitutional Council as well as Institut National de Podologie.
