NICOLAS-FRANÇOIS DUN (LUNÉVILLE 1764-1832 NAPLES) Maria-Cristina de Bourbon-Siciles (1806-1878), reine et régente d'Espagne en robe blanche signé ‘N. Dun’ (en bas à gauche) gouache rehaussée de gomme arabique, sur ivoire 15,7 x 11,5 cm (6 1⁄ 4 x 4 1⁄ 2 in.)Princesse Maria-Pia de Bourbon-Siciles (1878-1973) puis par descendance au propriétaire actuel.NICOLAS-FRANÇOIS DUN, PORTRAIT OF MARIA-CRISTINA DE BOURBON-SICILES (1806-1878), GOUACHE HEIGHTENED WITH ARABIC GUM, ON IVORY, SIGNED From the 1790s onwards, Nicolas-François Dun travelled to Naples and made friends with Lady Hamilton's renowned circle, which included such personalities as Goethe, Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun and Angelica Kauffmann. He painted important miniatures of European nobility, such as the portrait of the Countess of Orloff in the Musée du Louvre (inv. RF 30702; see P. Jean-Richard, Inventaire des miniatures sur ivoire conservées au cabinet des dessins, Musée du Louvre et Musée d'Orsay, 1994, p. 372).Dun produced several portraits of members of the local ruling houses, the Murats and the Bourbons, including the present miniature of Maria-Cristina de Bourbon-Siciles, Royal Princess of the Two Sicilies, Queen (1829-1833) and Regent (1833-1840) of Spain. Her parents, Francesco I of the Two Sicilies (1777-1830) and Maria Isabel of Spain (1789-1848), were also portrayed by the artist in 1824; both miniature portraits are kept at the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples (see N. Lemoine-Bouchard, Les peintres en miniature actifs en France 1650-1850, Paris, 2008, pp. 216-217).The present portrait of Maria Cristina was probably painted on the occasion of her marriage to King Ferdinand VII of Spain in December 1829. A miniature of her mother wearing a sheaf of wheat had also been painted by Nicolas François Dun in 1802, the year of her marriage (Hôtel Drouot sale, Paris, 29 March 1994, lot 63; see Lemoine-Bouchard, op. cit., pp. 216-217). On the death of her husband, Queen Maria Cristina of Bourbon-Siciles became regent of Spain between 1833 and 1840. Following the end of her reign, she stayed several times in France, in particular at the Château de Malmaison, which she owned from 1842 to 1861. As Nathalie Lemoine-Bouchard points out, Dun paid great attention to the finish of the clothes, while at the same time showing a taste for ambitious compositions and the personality of the models he portrayed, which shines through in the depiction of their faces, and the present miniature is a perfect example of this (Lemoine-Bouchard, op. cit., p. 216). Unpublished on the market, this miniature is a remarkable rediscovery in the corpus of works by Nicolas-François Dun.
