156 Martin-Guillaume BIENNAIS silversmith French 1764–1843 Jean-Baptiste ISABEY decorator French 1767–1855 Writing case with a miniature of Queen Hortense and her children, Napoleon- Louis and Louis-Napoleon Encrier orné d’une miniature: La reine Hortense et ses enfants, Napoléon-Louis et Louis-Napoléon c. 1805–10 Amboyna (Pterocarpus indicus), Ebony (Diospyros sp.), silver, silver-gilt, gold, enamel, watercolour on paper Fondation Napoléon, Paris Donation Lapeyre inv. 821 Queen Hortense seems to have used this sumptuous writing case – which she gave to Napoleon for his birthday on 15 August 1808 – as a pretext for also presenting him with the miniature that adorns it. This shows Hortense posed with her two youngest children, the younger of whom was to rule as Emperor of France from 1852 to 1870 with the title Napoléon III. Hortense here demonstrated her concern for future roles of her children in the Empire and affirmed their position as heirs to the throne. *End of case © COPYRIGHT This document remains the property of the National Gallery of Victoria and must be returned upon request.
