Princess Clementine (1817-1907) was the daughter of King Louis-Philippe of France. The King commissioned a portrait of himself, his son, daughter and daughter-in-law, and this portrait became the model for numerous replicas and versions. The portraits were exhibited at the Salon of 1839.
Winterhalter was soon the preferred portraitist of many of Europe's sovereigns, painting several portraits of the King of the Belgians and his children, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and their children, Duke Alexander of Wurttemberg, the Grand Duchess of Mecklemburg, Princess Augusta of Prussia, the Queen of the Netherlands, Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie, and members of the Prussian and Russian royal families.
