This is a copy by Frederick Say from a full-length portrait by Winterhalter. The Duke was the sixth son of King Louis-Philippe and he accompanied his father to London in 1844 when he was instructed 'to speak openly to Albert' about everything that needed to be done for his father's comfort and health. He came to stay in England in 1848. Here he is wearing the uniform of Colonel of Artillery.
