Catalogue Note
Le prince était le fils de Louis-Alexandre Berthier, Prince de Neuchâtel et de Wagram et de Marie-Elizabeth en Bavière (1785-1849). A la mort de son père en 1815, il hérita des titres et devint pair de France puis en 1848 fut nommé conseiller général de Seine-et-Oise, où il géra plusieurs propriétés dont le château de Grosbois. Ce portrait peut-être daté vers 1835.
