Catalogue Note
Invité à une chasse au château de Ferrières, Napoléon III déjeuna dans la salle à manger d'apparat le 16 décembre 1862. Une vue de la salle à manger, prise au temps du baron Guy de Rothschild, présente le buste placé entre deux baies, sur une haute colonne (cf. Connaissance des Arts, n° 137, op.cit; voir reproduction).
