Specialist note

We are grateful to Mr. Alain Latreille for suggesting an attribution to an artist in Baron Gérard's studio and dating the painting to circa 1805-1808. He further notes that no prototype for this painting is known and that the sitter might be identified as Hortense Eugénie Cécile Bonaparte, stepdaughter of Napoleon Bonaparte and Queen Consort of Holland.
