Joséphine-Eléonore-Marie-Pauline de Galard de Brassac de Béarn

Joséphine-Eléonore-Marie-Pauline de Galard de Brassac de Béarn (22 June 1825 – 28 November 1860)[1][2], wife of French Prime Minister, from noble De Galard Family and member of French social elite in mid-nineteenth century Paris.

Joséphine-Eléonore-Marie-Pauline de Galard de Brassac de Béarn in study from 1851-52 by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres for The Princesse de Broglie, the 1853 portrait called Princesse Albert de Broglie.

Galard was featured in the Ingress painting "The Princesse de Broglie". Her name was styled Princess. She was 28 years old at the time of the completion of the painting. She was intelligent, widely known for her beauty, and strong religious feelings. Galard suffered from shyness. Art critics claim Ingress captured her melancholia in the painting.
