Specialist Elaine Stainton profiles an exceptional portrait of Napoleon's younger sister, Pauline Bonaparte, painted circa 1798-99 by Marie-Victoire Lemoine (1754-1820). The impressive, large-scale portrait was formerly in the collection of Pauline's older brother, Joseph Bonaparte, the one-time King of Spain, who died in exile in New Jersey. It is a highlight of Doyle’s February 5, 2020 auction of Old Master Paintings & Drawings. Catalogue at Doyle.com
