拍品資料及來源
The first version of this portrait of Ferdinand, Duke of Orléans was painted in 1837, the year the sitter married Hélène, Princess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. The untimely death of this popular prince on 13 July 1842 - following an accident while driving his small calèche to Neuilly to lunch with his parents - was widely lamented and led Madame de Mirbel to paint further versions as a memorial to the man that Heinrich Heine had identified as the sole guarantee of the survival of Orléans dynasty as rulers of France.
