Charles Édouard Boutibonne was Winterhalter's pupil and one of his assistants. Born in Hungary into a family of French origin, he studied in Vienna with the portraitist Friedrich von Amerling (1803-1887), court painter to Emperor Franz Joseph, before moving to Paris. He collaborated in the execution of portraits of the Orleans family, then of the imperial family. Like his mentor, Boutibonne also worked for the British royal couple. In 1856, he painted the equestrian portraits of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, as well as those of Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie (London, Royal Collection Trust). He also tried his hand at history and genre painting. Note by Madame Laure Chabanne on the RMN website.
