Maria Anna Christine Victoria, the eldest sister of Max Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria, was married to Louis of France in 1680, when she was nineteen. By the time Vivien created this portrait, she had already been dead for ten years, which is indicated by the bouquet of dried flowers in her hand. Vivien's depiction was most likely based on prints.
