Condition
Très bon état général, les couleurs sont d'une grande fraîcheur, quelques légères traces de moisisures autour du visage du modèle n'affectant pas le portrait. Nous pensons que quelques altérations proviennent du verre qu'il nous a été impossible de soulever.

Catalogue Note
Le modèle représenté était la benjamine des filles de Louis-Philippe, roi des Français et de Marie Amélie des Deux-Siciles. En 1843, elle épousa le prince Auguste de Saxe-Coburg et de Gotha, qui était extrêmement lié avec les cours royales d’Angleterre, du Portugal, d’Espagne, de Belgique et d’Autriche-Hongrie. Le couple princier vécut en France jusqu’à la révolution de 1848, date à laquelle ils partirent pour l’Autriche. La princesse Clémentine travailla toute sa vie à l'établissement de sa nombreuse descendance. Ses efforts furent couronnés, à titre posthume, en 1908 lorsque son fils cadet, Ferdinand (1861-1948) devint tsar de Bulgarie.
The sitter was the youngest daughter of King Louis Philippe, King of the French and his wife Maria Amalia of the Two Sicilies. In 1843, she married Prince August of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who was closely connected with the royal houses of Britain, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Brazil and Austria-Hungary. The couple lived in France until the 1848 revolution but afterwards re-located to Austria. Princess Clementine devoted much energy to ensure her numerous descendants’ position in society. Her efforts were rewarded, after her death, when her youngest son, Ferdinand (1861-1948), became Tsar of Bulgaria in 1908.
