This is one of Napoleon’s alleged illegitimate daughters: Joséphine-Napoléone de Montholon
Tumblr media
I found it on Wikipedia.
Little Joséphine was born on the island of Saint Helena in 1818 to Albine de Montholon. She was legally recognized as the daughter of Albine’s husband, not Napoleon.
She unfortunately died young.
She had an older sister who was also born on Saint Helena and was also believed to be the daughter of Napoleon. Her name was Hélène-Napoléone. She lived a very long life and died in 1907. She was said to strongly resemble Napoleon. I haven’t been able to find any pictures of her, though she lived long enough for there to be photographs.
