A pendant commemorating the death of Princess Charlotte Augusta the glazed portrait miniature surrounded with a panel of black enamel, a row of seed pearls and surmounted with a crown enamelled in red, with delicate yellow metal wire work. Verso the inscription reads H.R.H Princess Char, te Augusta ob. 6 Nov. 1817 at 22'' on a modern 9ct chain Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales She was the only child of George IV, if she had outlived both her Grandfather George III and her father she would have become Queen of England. She was much loved and seen as new hope for the country. Her grandfather was seen as mad and her father was not popular. She married for love against her father's wishes to Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coberg-Saalfeld and was happily married for eighteen months. She died shortly after giving birth to a stillborn son at the age of twenty two. There was a great outpouring of grief throughout the land akin to when Princess Diana died in our own time. As she was the only legitimate grandchild, there was considerable pressure on the Kings un-wed sons to marry, his fourth son Edward Duke of Kent fathered the eventual Heir Queen Victoria

Continental School, 19th c., probably after an 18th c. miniature, "Soldier of the Marigny de Mandeville Family, Either Francois-Philippe (1680-1728) or His Son, Antoine Philippe (1722-1779)", oil on canvas, unsigned, "Louisiana State Museum" label en verso, 36 in. x 29 in., antique frame. Provenance: Gaspar Cusachs, entrepreneur, historian and collector, (1855-1929); The Gaspar Cusachs Collection, loaned to the Louisiana State Museum, New Orleans, LA (c. 1909-2016). Ill.: Harter, John Burton and Mary Louise Tucker. The Louisiana Portrait Gallery, Volume 1 to 1870. New Orleans: Louisiana State Museum, 1979, pp. 40-41. Note: This handsome image is a copy on canvas of an untraced engraving, mezzotint, or portrait miniature, possibly executed before 1728, or in 1763, when its possible sitters were probably in France. The first specific record of this present painting is an early albumin carte-de-visite photograph, made in August 1883 by the New Orleans author/journalist Edward Clifton Wharton (1827-1891), for this portrait’s owner, Mme. Gustave de Marigny [née Bienvenue], the daughter-in-law of Bernard Xavier Philippe de Marigny de Mandeville. As noted on the carte-de-visite, this sitter was “either the father or the grandfather of Bernard Xavier Philippe de Marigny de Mandeville [1785-1868]”. Although in all likelihood, Mme. Gustave de Marigny meant the grandfather or great-grandfather of Bernard Xavier Philippe de Mandeville. Bernard’s “father” would have been Pierre-Philippe Enguerrand de Marigny de Mandeville (1751-1800), while his “grandfather” would have been Antoine-Philippe de Marigny de Mandeville (1722-1779), who was born in Mobile while his own father, Francois-Philippe de Marigny de Mandeville (1680-1728) was in colonial service. Antoine-Philippe was married in New Orleans in 1748, and is successively described as a “Lieutenant of Colonial Troops” in the New Orleans 1762 power of attorney to his wife, preceding his voyage to France. He was also described as “Capitaine de l’infanterie au service de France” on his tombstone, where both he and his father are named as “chevalier[s] de l’ordre royale et militaire de Saint-Louis,” the decoration displayed on this breastplate. Since the highly accurate depiction of this armor is datable to the early 18th c. or just possibly, in retrospect, to 1763, it is likely that the compilers of the 1979 Cabildo catalogue [cited above] were at least partly correct—that this portrait represents either Antoine-Philippe de Marigny de Mandeville, or his father, Francois-Philippe de Marigny de Mandeville.Ref.: The Historic New Orleans Collection (acc. no. 58-101-L.3, MSS 216.37, Folder 37).

Alexandre Alaux (French/New Orleans, 1851-1932), “Portrait of Woman Wearing a Madres Calendé (previously thought to be Marie Laveau)”, after engraving in Two Years in the French West Indies by Lafcadio Hearn, oil on copper, signed mid-right, 3 3/4 in. x 3 in., period frame. Provenance: Gaspar Cusachs, entrepreneur, historian and collector, (1855-1929); The Gaspar Cusachs Collection, loaned to the Louisiana State Museum, New Orleans, LA (c. 1909-2016). Note: Alexandre Alaux was born in France, but New Orleans became his home by the time he was just four years old. A talented artist from a young age, Alaux studied with Francois Bernard (1812-1875) and began earning medals and prizes in 1869. An accomplished artist, Alaux was proficient in painting miniatures, landscapes, portraits, and historical paintings. Among the subjects of his portraits, Alaux enjoyed copying earlier works of prominent New Orleans citizens such as Etienne de Boré and Don Andres Almonaster y Roxas.The woman in this miniature, although of unknown identity, presents a fascinating look at a prosperous free woman of color. The mixture of patterns on the fabric of her dress and tignon add an interesting layer of exoticism, while still maintaining the current fashion in western society. Probably self-commissioned as evidenced by the sitter’s apparent control of the manner and style of the painting, the painting includes a tignon to signify the sitter’s racial status; however its bright pattern makes a beautiful complement to her face, and the pose has a sense of refinement and strong sense of self. The sitter’s elaborate jewelry, as well as the fact that she had the means to commission a portrait, indicates that she had both wealth and position in society. Other well-known artists painting portraits of free women of color in Louisiana, just one to two decades earlier, were Jacques Amans and Franz Fleischbein, whose works Alaux undoubtedly had studied.
