This is an original family portrait about 200 years old of Marie Laczinska, the Polish Countess Walewska, who married Anne's husband Mihael's great-great grandfather, General Philippe-Antoine d' Ornano, in 1816. (He eventually became a Marshal of France, which is a very high military honor.) The very next year she died in childbirth bearing Michael's great grandfather, Rodolphe d' Ornano. A black-and-white image of this portrait has been released to the public domain, and can be found on the Web.
