Only for you to know, there is already a topic " Empress Maria Theresia and her daughters", where she and her siblings were already discussed, maybe it already helps a bit for certain infos.

mjabele refered to Maria Anna (1804-1858), daughter of Franz II./I. and his second wife Maria Theresia of the Two Sicilies. So Maria Anna was Empress Maria Theresia's great-granddaughter. I think you mixed this Maria Anna up with Empress Maria Theresia's daughter who had the same name., Britta.

Anyway, there is also a thread about Franz I./II.'s children:

Ich aber breite trauernd aus
die weiten weissen Schwingen,
Und kehr' ins Feenreich nach Haus -
Nichts soll mich wieder bringen.

Thanks for the picture, MarieCharlotte.   I've actually seen the thread about Franz I/II's children, but it didn't (totally) answer my questions about Archduchess Maria Anna.   Elsewhere, I've read that she did marry, albeit apparently beneath her, to a Galician courtier named Ioan Drogowski.   Presumably this was some sort of morganatic alliance, I have no idea; and perhaps I'm just imagining a more romantic connotation to the whole thing than was truly the case.   But I guess I'm still left wondering.....

She doesn't look deformed in this picture. Maybe mentally retarted?

I've never read that Maria Anna got married.

Thanks for the picture. It adds to my collection of Franz II's children.
Would someone have any picture of her little brother AD Johann Nepomuk (1805-9) ? He's the only one missing, now...

Thanks in advance.

A painter could flatter to his sitter.

True  :)  But she really looks too pretty in this portrait.

I'm sorry, I have never seen a picture of him.

Hello.

Although no one has posted on this topic for about 3 years, the question I have pretty much falls under the title and I thought there's no point in me creating a new topic for one question.

Anyway, to the question - although the Austrian Emperor Ferdinand I (eldest son of Francis II/I) abdicated in 1848, he lived until 1875... are there any photographs of him in later life?

Thanks,
The Prussian

Moderators love such circumspect people like you. Thanks. :-)

This is the only photograph of Ferdinand I've ever seen:

He certainly looks very small, doesn't he?

Do you have any idea when it was taken?

Anyway, thanks for providing the photo, it's very interesting.
