According to the 1972 Neo-Classicism exhibition, 'exhaustive research into Spanish, Portuguese and Brazilian families shows that there was no such title in the Pereira family at the time of the Congress of Vienna. The famous Portuguese family of Pereira was extinct by this time, and it seems not unlikely that this Hispanic beauty may have been using an assumed name and title. This leads one to speculate that she might have been a well known courtesan'.
