Biography
Biography
Training under Louis Hersent and Louise Hersent is recorded. The recorded working language is French. Work by Louise Adélaïde Desnos is recorded in the collections of Palace of Versailles, Musée d'art moderne (Saint-Étienne), New York Historical, Musée Carnavalet and Musée de l'Histoire de France.
Probably the painting exhibited by Desnos at the Salon of 1838 (# 503) with the description (in French): Madame de la Vallière - Avant d'entrer au couvent, elle vient se jeter aux pieds de la reine pour obtenir son pardon. The painting would therefore depict Louise de La Vallière, mistress of King Louis XIV, asking forgiveness from the latter's wife, Queen Marie-Thérèse, before taking the veil.
