    Fascinating historical portrait of Louis-Philippe, Duke of Orléans, later King of the French, painted by Richard Cosway in 1804. The miniature, housed in a French-style locket frame, captures Louis-Philippe in exile during the French Revolution. The Order of the Holy Spirit adorns him, and a lock of brown hair, possibly his own, is enclosed in the locket.
