“large miniature signed on the left by the chevalier de guérard. Arriving in vienna in 1793 with prince auersperg, the chevalier de guérard became the official painter of the austrian court. We owe him numerous portraits of the children and grandchildren of empress marie therese of habsburg. Note among others, signed by his hand, the portraits of marie thérèse of bourbon naples with her seven children, of the empress maria ludovica surrounded by her children, of the children of francis 1st of austria, of marie caroline of naples. . . It was also in naples that emile bernhard chevalier de guèrard ended his days. It is certain that further research will reveal the names of the two little girls and their little brothers, in this important miniature with its bold composition. "[1]
