Engraving evening at the duke of orléans by eugène lami, engraving by charles rolls, composed in 1843 after the death of the duke. Variants compared to the watercolor and gouache by lami preserved in the louvre describing the same theme. We recognize the duke standing in front of the fireplace in blue uniform and white french-style breeches, his chest crossed with the red ribbon of the legion of honor. To his right the english ambassador also wearing epaulettes (a man in uniform between the duke and the ambassador). The duchess of orléans is seated facing forward wearing a white dress. Lamoricière is facing forward, standing, in the middle of the living room, with brown hair. Date: 1843.
