## Commentary

The Duc d&#39;Orléans, wearing the Légion d&#39;Honneur, is standing by the chimney. On the lower right, the woman sitting may be Madame Forster, famous dancer at the Opéra. Wearing a beautiful gown and facing us as she sits is Hélene de Mecklembourg-Schwerin, Ferdinand-Philippe d&#39;Orléans&#39; wife. Amongst the crowd on the right is a man with a turban, probably a spahi. Finally, on the right, a man wearing a goatee moustache standing by the chimney may be general Lamoriciere.
