Description
English: Portrait of Princess Élisabeth of France (1764–1794), sister of Louis XVI of France (1754-1793).

"This miniature does not correspond to any known painting of Princess Elizabeth, but may have been copied from an engraving by John Condé published on 1 August 1795 in London with the title: 'Elizth Phile Marie Hélène de France / Soeur du Roi Louis XVI / née à Versailles 3 mai 1764 / Egorgée juridiquement à Paris le 11 mai 1794 par Ordre des Régicides de la (soi-disant) Convention Nationale'. The frame is decorated with quill pens, manacles and an axe.

Little is known about the artist, Delahante or de la Hante (active 1790-1800). This painter was probably French but the only record of him is in connection with two unnamed miniatures he exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1798 and 1799 from an address in Hanover Street, London. Alexis Delahante, who may have some connection with the artist, was a well-known London picture dealer whose accounts are in the Royal Archives for payment for paintings in June 1827 and July 1828."
