'Portrait de la reine Marie Amélie'

Photograph of a work by Ary Scheffer created in 1857 and now in the Musée de la Vie romantique, Paris (Inv. no. 1009.1). The three-quarter length portrait depicts the exiled Marie Amélie (1782–1866), queen consort of Louis Philippe (1773–1850), in mourning at Claremont. She sits in a large chair facing slightly to the right, her hands placed on the chair's armrests.

Ary Scheffer (and his studio) continued throughout his life to produce new works of old compositions on demand. His paintings were also widely reproduced as etchings.
