Dear Yseult,

Wonderful pictures again, synnadene, especially the last one.
How was Isabellas feeling to Spain and?
And how was she as a daughter and as a mother? Are there any reminiscences or sources about her?

Could someone scan in this Painting of Marie Isabelle?

The portrait



the same pose in lithograph

My latest find: lovely!

And how was she as a daughter and as a mother?

I read in the "Secrets of the Gotha" that Isabelle was quite a character, very manlike in her habits and manners, very strict with her children.

Two images. I´m still trying to obtain the same ones in better quality, but, by now...



They are the dukes of Montpensier at San Telmo gardens, with their three elder daughters: Isabel and Maria Amalia, and baby Cristina.

And this is a picture of Isabel with her husband Philippe and their children. From left to right: Helena, Louis Philippe, Philippe count of Paris, little Louise, Isabel countess of Paris, Ferdinand and Isabelle. The picture was taken when they were on holidays at Villamanrique de la Condesa.

Svetabel:
I have read that She smoked Cigars is that true? And also what other things would She do?

I'm curious...they were on holidays, did Philippe ever work?  Just how did an heir to a nonexistent throne pay the bills?  Inherited wealth, or did he ever do anything to contribute to society?

Terence, my english is not very fluent. Maybe I didn´t choose well the words to express properly what I wanted to express...Maybe, "on holidays" can be changed by "spending some time at Villamanrique de la Condesa"...I don´t know if Philippe was a young wealthy prince, but Isabel had a very good dowry and she inherited a lot of money after the death of her father, Antoine duke of Montpensier. I´m sure they had not problems to pay the bills.
