Le Retour en barque du château de Saint-Cloud au château de Neuilly du roi Louis-Philippe entouré de sa famille, figurés au clair de lune sur la Seine, pendant l’été 1840, by Joachim Issarti, circa 1840-44.
The Château de Neuilly was the favorite of the residences of
le Roi Citoyen and his family which lay within the environs of Paris. Both this and the better known Château de Saint-Cloud, the declared point of departure in the above painting, are long since lost. The former was burned and pillaged on the fall of Louis-Philippe's "July Monarchy"; all that survives is a wing, now occupied by a convent. The latter burned in 1870 during the Franco-Prussian War, and was finally demolished in 1891.
