Oh! This is one of my all time favorite portraits- Le petit déjeuner de la famille Lavergne, by Jean-Etienne Liotard. The sitters were not royal, as you noted, but were members of the Lavergne family and the artist’s relatives.
The curling implements in the girl’s hair are papillote curlers, I believe. The hair has been twisted and wrapped in paper to protect it before heat would be applied with tongs. The kind of ashy cast to her hair is likely due to the fact that styling product (a fat/oil based pomade and starch based powder) had already been applied.
Liotard is one of my favorite artists, and I think he excelled at scenes like this- so intimate that the viewer almost feels like an intruder. My favorite of his paintings is probably this one:

Marianne Liotard, his daughter, and her doll.


not a rococo specialist by a few centuries but this breakfast scene is so sweet and intimate. The artists niece having a coffee with her little niece. I love when kids sit for "genre" portraits (ik they're aristocrats but u know).
Interesting material analysis from the source on oil pastel rendering vs oil painting wrt how rare and soft oil pastels are vs the harder craquelure of the oil.
Jean-Etienne Liotard, The Lavergne Family Breakfast (1754), pastel on paper + the same (1773), oil on canvas

MY FAVOURITE FEMALE FRIENDSHIPS IN FILM › 23 / ∞
PAULINE aka POMME & SUZANNE 🧡 L’UNE CHANTE, L’AUTRE PAS (1977, dir. Agnès Varda) "Their friendship flowed easily. True, they were different. One sang, the other didn’t. But they were alike too. They’d fought to win the happiness of being a woman. Maybe their optimistic struggle could help others."
