EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the innocence and regal charm of Henri d'Artois, known as "Henri V" and future Count of Chambord. Painted by an anonymous French artist in approximately 1828, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 46.2 x 38.2 cm. In this exquisite artwork, young Henri is depicted wearing the prestigious Order of the Holy Ghost, symbolizing his noble lineage. The delicate brushstrokes beautifully highlight his youthful features and hint at the greatness that lies ahead for him. Henri Comte de Chambord (1820-1886) holds a disputed claim to the throne of France during a tumultuous period in history. Although he was never officially proclaimed as King Henry V from August 2nd to 9th in 1830, he remained a legitimist pretender to the throne until his death in 1883. This remarkable piece belongs to Victor Hugo's esteemed collection and was sold on April 4th, 2012 during auction number 3526 as lot number 208. It serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are transported back in time to witness the grace and promise embodied by young Henri d'Artois – a boy destined for greatness amidst political turmoil. This painting reminds us of the enduring power of art to capture fleeting moments that shape our collective memory.
