Loving pencil portrait of his mother by son in 1859 at the age of 7, after the family had moved to America in 1851. Son Albert has drawn on his mother’s chest a giant heart that she was known for by all who’d ever met her. Above the heart she is wearing the large, rare diamond his mom, Clofullia, had been personally presented by Napolean The Third! Albert would follow his mother into show business and become as famous as she had been!
