Take a look at:
ELISABETH DE FRANCE, DITE MADAME ELISABETH (1764-1794) (Sister of King Louis XVI), by Elisabeth Louise VIGEE-LE BRUN, c. 1782. (Often copied) Original is housed at Versailles, Musee National du Chateau.
The term "historical detective" may sound a little strange, but is the easiest way to express the intent of this research.
Seeking information to expand historical knowledge and finding, surprisingly often, "conventional wisdom" needs revision
