Description: Original lifetime lithograph of the Duke de Castiglione and ally of Napoleon by the Dutch engraver and lithographer Ludwig Gottlieb Portman (1772-1828). The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam has one in their collection dated 1807. The lithograph measures 6" x 9" and is in superb condition! Charles Pierre François Augereau, 1st Duke of Castiglione (1757 – 1816) was a French military commander and a Marshal of the Empire who served during the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. After serving in the Revolutionary Wars, he earned rapid promotion while fighting against Spain and soon found himself as a division commander under Napoleon Bonaparte in Italy. He fought in all of Bonaparte's battles of 1796 with great distinction. During the Napoleonic Wars, Napoleon entrusted Augereau with important commands. His life ended under a cloud because of his poor timing in switching sides between Napoleon and King Louis XVIII. Napoleon wrote of Augereau that he "has plenty of character, courage, firmness, activity; is inured to war; is well liked by the soldiery; is fortunate in his operations."Fabulous piece in fine state.Harmonie Autographs and Music, Inc.Appraiser & Music AntiquarianNew York, New YorkAll items guaranteed authentic
