On 23 April 1814 Marie Louise and her then three-year old son left France and went into exile in Austria, where he lived for the rest of his life. He was given the title Duke of Reichenstadt by Emperor Franz I of Austria, his maternal grandfather, and decided to follow a military career, which was hampered by a fear of a Bonaparte return to France by Europe's monarchies.

Egyptian Sculpture of the Late Period, 700 B.C.- AD 100, The Brooklyn Museum 1961, p.52, figs 100-102, where it is noted that stylistically the strong collar bones suggest a date in the reign of Psamtik I.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
