No. 8. MARIE ANNE CHRISTINE, PRINCESS OF BAVARIA.
_Low grey dress, cut square, trimmed with lace. Black head-dress
and white feather. Necklace and earrings._
BORN 1660, DIED 1690.
BY DE TROYES.
DAUGHTER of Ferdinand, Elector of Bavaria. Born at Munich. Negotiations being set on foot for the marriage of this Princess with the Dauphin of France, King Louis the Fourteenth sent De Troyes to paint a portrait of her, and likewise a confidential envoy to give some description of his future daughter-in-law. The report was satisfactory; for although not a real beauty, Maria Christina possessed great perfection of form, and was lively and agreeable. She was united to Louis, Dauphin of France, in 1680, at Châlons-sur-Marne, where the French court repaired to do honour to the nuptials. Anxious to find favour in the eyes of her father-in-law, she perfectly succeeded in the attempt, for the King found her very accomplished, well-informed, of great conversational powers, and wonderfully ready at repartee, while her easy, unconstrained, though refined manners surprised the court of the Louvre. The only drawback to the bride’s popularity was her love of quiet and retirement; and after the festivities attending the celebration of the marriage were concluded, the Dauphine evinced her predilection for a small and intimate coterie, and the propensity to yield too implicitly to the influence of one of her Bavarian ladies, which caused some jealousy. Her time was fully occupied by reading and devotional exercises. The King strove in vain to wean her from pursuits which tended to seclusion from the world; but, finding his attempts useless, he no longer thwarted her inclinations. The Dauphine was very ill at the time of the birth of her third son, the Duc de Berry, and never recovered her health. When she felt her end approaching, she sent for the child, whom she embraced tenderly and blessed, concluding with these touching words: ‘C’est de bon cœur quoique tu me coutes bien cher.’ She also took a tender leave of her eldest son, the Duc de Bourgogne (father of Louis XV.). Louis the Fourteenth sat by the deathbed of his daughter-in-law, and when advised to withdraw, he said, ‘No; it is better I should see how my equals die;’ and he spoke some admonitory words in the same strain to the Dauphin, who was also present, on the transitory nature of earthly grandeur. The Dauphine’s funeral oration was preached by Fléchier, and considered a _chef-d’œuvre_.

-------
QUEEN VICTORIA INVESTING THE SULTAN WITH THE ORDER OF THE GARTER ON
BOARD THE ROYAL YACHT.
BY G. THOMAS.
THIS picture was painted by permission of the Queen for Lord Bradford, who as Lord Chamberlain assisted at the ceremony. Mr. Thomas painted the same subject in a large picture for the Queen, and he died before he had finished this replica.
The Queen wished to confer the Order of the Garter upon the Sultan without any previous notice, and the Lord Chamberlain was commissioned to borrow the Insignia from two of the Princes, K.G.s, who were on board. This he did by procuring the Blue Ribbon and George from Prince Arthur, and the Star from Prince Louis of Hesse. After the investiture the Sultan was told, through his interpreter, that the Queen had ordered more costly Insignia on purpose for His Imperial Majesty, and that as soon as these were ready they should be exchanged for those employed to-day. Upon which, without a moment’s hesitation, the Sultan said to the Lord Chamberlain, through his interpreter, ‘No, no, those which the Queen has herself placed on me, I will never part from.’
We are tempted to insert this anecdote as it has an historical interest, and one cannot but feel that the Sultan’s speech betokened the chivalry of a newly dubbed knight.

_Golden brown satin gown._
BY SIR PETER LELY.
IN the reign of Charles the Second, she was a member of the Duke of York’s troop of comedians, and one of the four female actresses who boarded at Sir William Davenant’s house. She was on the stage as early as 1664, in which year she appeared in ‘The Stepmother,’ and afterwards as Celia in ‘The Rivals,’ an adaptation by Davenant of the ‘Two Noble Kinsmen.’ Pepys makes frequent mention of her, and was a great admirer of her talent. He even pits her against Nell Gwynne: ‘Little Mistress Davies danced a jig at the end of the play in boy’s clothes, far superior to Nelly’s performance in the same character.’ It is true he calls her an impertinent slut, but that did not prevent the King from losing his heart, and my lady Castlemaine from being very jealous, seeing Charles’s eyes were fixed all the time of the play on Mistress Moll. But what especially fascinated his Merry Majesty were the wild, mad, melodious songs she sang, and her wonderful grace and arch demeanour in dancing. Charles bought and furnished a house for her, and made her a present of a ring which cost £600, a large sum in those days. He had a daughter by her, called Mary Tudor, who was born in 1673, and married a son of Sir Francis Ratcliffe, afterwards Earl of Derwentwater.

DIED 1687.
BY MRS. BEALE.
SHE first attracted notice by her beauty and arch demeanour when selling oranges in the taverns and theatres. She studied acting under the elocutionists Hart and Lacy, both very much esteemed in the dramatic profession at the time. Her talents soon made her distinguished on the stage, but she seldom attempted tragedy. Her sprightliness and grace soon attracted the attention of the King, and before this period she was said to have counted the Duke of Buckingham and Lord Dorset among her admirers. The enemies of the Duchess of Cleveland were glad of an opportunity of recommending pretty Mistress Nell as a rival to the haughty beauty, to whom she stood in strange contrast, both in appearance and good-humour. In 1663 she was still a member of the King’s company at Drury Lane, and was supposed to have quitted the stage about 1672. Pepys, in speaking of her in 1665, calls her ‘pretty witty Nell,’ and in 1666 he mentions that he went with his wife to see ‘The Maiden Queen’ by Dryden, in which there is a comical part taken by Nell that ‘I never can hope to see the like done again by man or woman.’ Also in the character of a mad girl and a young gallant, both admirable. But when she attempted such a part as the Emperor’s daughter, good Samuel confesses she does it ‘most basely.’ Burnet designates her as the ‘indiscreetest and wildest creature that ever was in a court.’ Charles gave her a house in Pall Mall, in which we are told there was one room on the ground-floor of which the walls and ceiling were entirely composed of looking-glass. An anecdote is given of her, that, on one occasion when driving in a superb coach up Ludgate Hill, she met some bailiffs hurrying a clergyman to prison for debt. Inquiring as to the sum, she paid it on the spot, and later on procured preferment for him. Her son, afterwards Duke of St. Albans, was born in 1670 before she left the stage.
Dryden was a great admirer of pretty Nell, and wrote a prologue for her, which she spoke under a hat of such enormous dimensions as almost to conceal her small figure. The audience were convulsed with laughter, and Charles was almost suffocated.
Nell called his Majesty _her_ Charles the Third, as she had had two protectors before who were his namesakes. Although thoughtless and reckless, she was a good friend to Charles in some respects, urging him constantly to pay more attention to public affairs, and interceding with him for objects of charity; she took a great interest in the foundation of Chelsea Hospital, and persuaded the King to hasten its completion. ‘How am I to please my people?’ he asked of her one day. ‘There is but one way,’ she replied: ‘dismiss your ladies and attend to your business:’ neither of which injunctions was obeyed. Nell Gwynne died at her house in Pall Mall in 1691, having survived the King some years, who, it will be remembered, in his last moments recommended her to the care of those who stood beside his bed. Dr. Tenison, afterwards Archbishop of Canterbury, preached her funeral sermon at the church of St. Martin’s in the Fields, where she lies buried. There is little doubt she died a penitent.
