Lot Essay

Princess Aloise the fifth child, born in 1803. After the death of her elder sister Princess Marie Pauline in 1848 Aloise married her sister's husband Prince Schoenberg-Waldenburg. The discrepancies between the relative ages of the children and their appearance in this and the following two drawings would suggest that there has been some confusion in the labelling on the frames. To judge from their relative ages in the drawings this portrait could be of Mathilde,lot 294 of Berthe and lot 295 of Aloise
