Félicité Louise Julie Constance de Durfort

The portrait of Félicité Louise Julie Constance de Durfort from 1813 may be a companion or related work to the 1808 portrait of the same subject held as the Maréchale de Beurnonville. The five-year gap between the two portraits — one painted the year of her death, one perhaps posthumous or based on earlier sittings — suggests the possibility that this work was executed before her death and the other shortly after, or that the 1813 date is an error or transcription variant. The Durfort family's prominence in French aristocratic life made multiple portrait commissions plausible. Without a confirmed collection, the work's current institutional provenance remains uncertain, but its subject connects it firmly to the aristocratic portrait tradition that formed an important part of Blondel's practice alongside his public history painting commissions.

Comparison with the dated 1808 Beurnonville portrait would clarify the technical relationship between the two works. This canvas, if indeed from 1813, would show Blondel's mature portrait style at the height of the Empire period, with the smooth academic finish and careful costume rendering characteristic of his professional portrait commissions.
