Le personnage peint sur cette miniature n’est autre que le quatorzième fils de Léopold II, l’empereur du Saint Empire et de l’infante Marie-Louise d’Espagne. Pendant les guerres napoléoniennes, il fut maréchal de l’armée autrichienne et combattit à Abensberg en Bavière, Landshut, et Ebersberg avant de finalement rendre les armes. Il fut également un brillant diplomate et prit part à la Conférence d’Etat entre les années 1836 et 1848. Après la révolution de 1848, il se retira de la vie publique.
