Famous French sculptor Houdon used to represent in pair busts of Louise (5 years) and his brother Alexander (7 years). Both terracotta portraits were presented at the 1777 Exhibition. They enjoyed great popularity, experienced multiple versions in marble and bronze and were reproduced in Sevres porcelain and terracotta.
