After Napoleon's death in 1821, Marie Louise remarried twice. Mansion, a pupil of Jean-Baptiste Isabey, painted miniatures in both Paris and London. The sitter wears a red velvet dress embroidered with flowers, edged with white lace, a pearl necklace and earrings, and a gold diadem set with pearls.
