Summary

[edit]
Description
English: German-born Marie-Henriette Heiniken was an adventurous woman, better known as “Madame de Xaintrailles,” who disguised herself as a man in order to serve in the military during the Napoleonic Wars, earning her rank “at the point of the sword.” In this diminutive portrait, she is shown wearing the military uniform of a French cavalry major. Heiniken purportedly acted as aide-de-camp to General Charles Antoine Xaintrailles, who is cited in most sources as her husband, and in others as her lover. Heiniken was one of only a few women to become a Freemason during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Licensing

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain
