-
Carte-de-visite half length photograph of Archduke Albrecht of Austria, in a vignette format. He is shown from a frontal viewpoint with his head turned to the left of the image. His arms are folded across his chest. He has cropped hair and a moustache, and is wearing small glasses. He is dressed in Field Marshals uniform of the Austrian Army, adorned with four insignia.
In 1844 the Archduke married Hildegard Luise Friederike (1825-1895) and they had three children: Karl Albrecht Ludwig (1847-1848), Maria Theresia Anna (1845-1927) and Mathilde Marie Adelgunde (1849-1867). Mathilde died in tragic circumstances when her evening dress caught fire as she was trying to hide a cigarette she was smoking from her father.Provenance
