Dubious sentence
I removed this sentence because it made no sense. It says "The birth of the future Napoleon II to her brother and Marie Louise destroyed any hope of her son Napoléon Achille Murat succeeding her brother."...When did he ever have any hope of succeeding Napoleon in France. She had four brothers and two elder sister that would have been ahead of her in succession and the Bonaparte monarchy followed the salic law of succession that prohibits female-lines to succeed to the throne. --Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 01:56, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
Portrait
The best portrait of Caroline I have managed to find is found here. It is a heavily cropped version of this JPEG image. The painting is too old to have any copyright. If it originally had any it has long expired by now.

- Have you a source that says it's a portrait of Caroline?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:54, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
I fount the portrait here and found no reason to doubt it.

Misidentified portrait?
Wikimedia Commons has this portrait which is said to depict Caroline. However, it is considerably different from all other portraits of her I have seen. Most important, it depicts a woman with brown eyes. All other portraits showing Caroline's eye colour depicts her with light eyes. (They were probably blue-gray as those of her brother Napoléon.) I see no reason why someone would be portrayed with an entirely different eye colour. Could the painting be the misidentified portrait of her sister Pauline? Except for nose length the face closely matches this portrait of her.
