Catalogue Note
Le modèle présenté était l’aînée des filles de Louis Philippe, roi des Français et de sa femme, Marie-Amélie des Deux-Siciles. Au couronnement de son père en 1830, elle prit le titre de Princesse d’Orléans. En 1832, elle épousa le roi des belges, Léopold Premier au château de Compiègne. Bien que de nature timide, elle fut extrêmement appréciée à la cour de Belgique et laissa le souvenir d’une princesse généreuse, d’une grande beauté.
The sitter was the eldest daughter of King Louis Philippe, King of the French and his wife Maria Amalia of the Two Sicilies. When, in 1830, her father was crowned King, she assumed the title Princesse d'Orléans. In 1832 she married King Leopold I of the Belgians, at the Château de Compiègne. Although shy by nature, she was popular at the Belgian court and was well known for her generosity and beauty.
