Hayter, portrait of the young Count Alexander Walewski

Sir George Hayter (1792-1871). Portrait of Count Alexander Walewski. Oil on canvas (66x54cm). . Former Christopher Forbes collection. Private collection. Count Alexander Walewski (1810-1868) was the son of Napoleon 1st and Polish Maria Countess Walewska. Although Alexandre was unquestionably a product of Maria's affair with the Emperor, he was legalised by the old count Athenasius and thus bore the name of the counts of Colonna-Walewski. He became an important figure in the 19th century French politics: he was an influential diplomat and a cabinet minister under Napoleon III.
