Besides a photo of self portrait and her admission piece, Adélaïde's miniatures are not really discussed in the article even though she was known for them. What other miniatures did she do and which ones are the most famous? Adélaïde was married twice but had no children, was there a reason for this? How did she die? Adélaïde was commissioned by royal patrons but how did she have royal connections?
(Chloe Van Vreeswyk here, just wondering if these are supposed to be questions.^^^)

The exile of the Comte of Provence meant Labille-Guiard had not only lost her last royal patron, but she also did not receive a cent of the agreed upon 30,000 livres.[1]
The pastel portraits of Marie Adélaïde, Victoire-Louise, and Élisabeth, stayed in Labille-Guiard's possession until she passed away from an illness.
