Charles-Joseph edit

Latest comment: 6 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

I have removed the following from the article, since although the dates and title fit, the name given is Charles-Joseph rather than Charles-Alexandre. It can be restored if it is established that the portrait is actually supposed to be of the same individual. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 09:18, 10 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

A pastel thought to be of him as a child, attributed to the [[duke of Lorraine]] and former king of Poland, [[Stanisław Leszczyński]], was auctioned by [[Christie's]] in 2016 for €8,125.<ref>[http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/Lot/attribue-a-stanislas-leszcynski-lviv-1677-1766-luneville-6046332-details.aspx Portrait présumé de Charles-Joseph (1744-1794), prince d'Hénin], christies.com. Accessed 4 June 2017.</ref>

Also the source Stanislas, un roi de Pologne en Lorraine, exhibition catalogue (Nancy, 2004), p. 186. The only information in this not in other sources cited is that as captain of the Duke of Artois's guard he accompanied Artois into exile in Italy in 1789. Again, it is primarily about the portrait and the name given is "Charles-Joseph". Also the source ''Mémorial de chronologie généalogique et historique pour l'année MDCCLIII'' (Paris, 1753), p. 248. [https://books.google.com/books?id=SSsftdGnbXoC On Google Books]., which adds nothing not available from other sources but uses the name "Charles-Joseph" for somebody born in Brussels to the same father on the same day, which I guess establishes that some sources use a different name for the same man, but that is already leaning into original research and synthesis. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 09:40, 10 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
