Maria Carolina,Queen of Naples ca 1800 -Unknown painter
The Queen of Naples, without being as pretty as her younger sister, the Queen of France, reminded me strongly of her. Her face was worn, but one readily judged that she had been handsome; her hands and arms especially were perfect in form and colour.This Princess, of whom so much evil has been written and spoken, had an affectionate nature and simple ways at home. Her magnanimity was truly royal
from the Memoirs of Madame Vigeé Lebrun
