Jerome Bonaparte, King of Westphalia

A white Carrara marble bust of Jerome Bonaparte, in the antique style, wearing fashionable short curly hair and sideburns.

This bust depicts Jerome Bonaparte, Napoleon I's youngest brother, who had been named King of Westphalia in 1807 following his marriage with Princess Catherine, daughter of the King of Wurttemberg.

Bosio was also commissioned by Jerome to execute the statues of the King and Queen of Westphalia, presented at the Salon in 1810.
