EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature portrait captures the regal presence of Henri, Comte de Chambord, a figure shrouded in royal intrigue and disputed claims to the throne of France. Painted by Joseph Hippolyte Lequeutre with meticulous detail, Henri is depicted in a black coat, maroon waistcoat, and turquoise dress studs linked with a gold chain. His attire includes a cravat, pale blue moire sash, and the prestigious breast star of the Royal French Order of the Holy Ghost.
Henri's lineage as the grandson of Charles X fueled his aspirations to be recognized as King Henry V of France from 1830 to 1886. Despite never officially being proclaimed as such, he remained a legitimist pretender to the throne throughout his life. The ornate ormolu easel frame by Alphonse Giroux adds an extra touch of elegance to this portrait.
Through this artwork, one can glimpse into the turbulent history and political rivalries that surrounded Henri's claim to power. The intricate details captured by Lequeutre bring forth not only Henri's physical appearance but also his unwavering determination to uphold his family's legacy. This print serves as a timeless reminder of Henri's enduring presence in French history and his steadfast belief in royal succession.
