Catalogue Note
There are known to be three further portraits of the young Charles X by Danloux: the first is in the Musée Condé in Chantilly; the second is in the Collection of the Earl of Stair in Lochinch Castle, Dumfriesshire; and the third is in Arniston House, Midlothian.
Charles X ruled as King of France and Navarre from 1824 until the French Revolution of 1830, when he abdicated.
