I've already sent my cards.

EDIT: Curiously, I can neither think of, nor find, any piece dedicated to any of them. Alexandra Karlovna was it appears luckier in that regard.

Note that Victorine de Bussy nee Manoury is NOT wearing a bonnet! Of the four, as best I can tell, she was the worst mother. She slapped her kids frequently and was more than happy to ship all five off permanently, letting Manuel de Bussy's sister raise them in Cannes.
