Reference: the original version of this portrait is in the collections of the Château de Chantilly. HISTORICAL SOUVENIRS ON THE ROYAL FAMILY FROM THE VICOMTE ALCIDE DE BEAUCHESNE (1800-1873). ET A DIVERS (*) The historical souvenirs on the royal family presented below come from the collection of Viscount Alcide-Hyacinthe du Bois de Beauchesne (1800-1873), gentleman of the court of King Louis XVIII, head of the cabinet of the General Directorate of Fine Arts at the Ministry of the King's Household and famous author of the book: Louis XVII, sa vie, son agonie et sa mort ; captivité de la famille royale au Temple published by Plon, in 1853. The relics originally belonged to Jean-Baptiste Gomin (1757-1841), Laurent's deputy in charge of the children of France at the Temple prison between November 8, 1794 and March 29, 1795, and who in this capacity had eased the Dauphin's agony as much as he could. Then, at the request of the French government, he accompanied Madame Royale on her journey from Paris to Huningue (canton of Basel, Switzerland) in December 1795, to be exchanged on the evening of December 25, 1795, for five brigands of the Convention, prisoners of the Emperor of Austria. Upon Gomin's death on June 2, 1841, his wife bequeathed these precious documents and historical testimonies to Viscount Alcide de Beauchesne, and from then on they remained in his direct line of descent, before being offered for sale on March 3, 2015 and today by the purchaser at the time. Some of these pieces were presented at the "Louis XVII" exhibition organized by the Musée Lambinet at the Hôtel de Ville de Versailles from May to July 1989.
