Portrait of Caroline Murat with her daughter, Letizia (1807)

Louise Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun: Portrait of Caroline Murat with her daughter, Letizia

Here's another of Vigée Le Brun's portraits of the French upper crust. This one is of Caroline Murat, one of Napoleon's sisters. She married one of Napoleon's generals, Joachim Murat (Empress Josephine persuaded Napoleon to allow the marriage). Murat became the King of Naples, and Caroline the "Queen Consort".

It turns out that she is the great-great-great-grandmother of this guy:

Constable Odo of Deep Space Nine (aka the actor René Auberjonois)
