"This painting was listed as no. 607 in John Bowes' catalogue, as 'Portrait of Pauline Bonaparte Sister of the Emperor Napoleon 1st, when young. White Dress amd green Shawl, Jeanne Mauduit, 1806'. Comparison with portraits of Pauline Bonaparte (e.g. that by Kinson, Pauline Bonaparte (1808, Museo Napoleonico, Rome) allow to conclude that this is not a portrait of Napoleon's sister. Gérard Hubert of the Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication writes in a letter dated 6 November 1987 that the portrait does not seem to resemble Pauline Bonaparte whose thin and triangular face is well-known thanks to works by Canova, Robert Lefèvre or Kinsoen amongst others. He does not think that the portrait may represent Caroline Bonaparte-Murat either."
