專家說明

The sitter was a nephew of Karl Theodor von Dalberg, Prince-Primate of the Confederation of the Rhine. When the Confederation of the Rhine was established on 12 July 1806, the County of Hohengeroldseck was elevated to a Principality and the sitter became Fürst (Prince) von der Leyen und zu Hohengeroldseck. In 1813 the Confederation was dissolved and from 30 May 1814 the Principality of Leyen was under Allied administration. By the Congress of Vienna it was handed to Austria, but was sold to the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1819. He retained the title of Fürst, despite Hohengeroldseck having lost its Principality status.
