[Comtesse Walewska and Princesse Jaochim Murat] 1855 - 1865

“[Comtesse Walewska and Princesse Joachim Murat]” is a set of four miniature portraits painted by Pierre-Louis Pierson, a French artist active in the mid-19th century. The work depicts two women, Comtesse Walewska and Princesse Joachim Murat, in various poses. The small size and intimate subject matter are characteristic of the miniature portrait genre, which was popular during the 1800s. This set is currently on view in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
