Catalogue Note
Le modèle était la seconde fille de Louis-Philippe, roi des Français et de sa femme Marie-Amélie des Deux-Siciles. Cette princesse fut une artiste talentueuse et reçut des leçons de sculpture d’Ary Scheffer (1795-1858). En octobre 1837, elle épousa le prince Alexandre de Württemberg (1804-1881). Le couple eut un fils, Philippe de Württtemberg (1838-1917), mais la princesse ne lui survécut pas longtemps, puisqu’elle succomba tragiquement de la tuberculose au début de l’année 1839.
