Photograph of a full length portrait of the Comtesse de Persigny, standing, facing right, her face captured in profile. She stands at the bottom of a set of stone steps. There is an urn on a plinth behind her and a doorway in the background. Probably at Broadlands.
This may be Eglé Ney de La Moskowa, firstly married to Comte de Persigny (d.1872), secondly married to Hyacinthe Lemoyne, and finally to the Marquis Villelume-Sombreuil (1832-90).
