Note du spécialiste

The sitter was the son of Ludwig I (see lot 131) and Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. In 1842, he married Marie of Prussia, with whom he had two sons, Ludwig (see lot 131) and Otto. Both sons succeeded their father in turn as King of Bavaria, but were declared mentally incompetent, and deposed.
