File:The familiy of Franz I.png

English: The sitters are: Emperor Franz I. (1768-1835) with his third wife Maria Ludovica (1787-1816), who married in 1808 (the year in which this table was produced) and their eight children: to the right, at the back seven-year-old Marie Luise (1791-1847), later Empress of the French, with her sister the seven-year-old Karolina Ferdinanda (1801-1832), later Queen of Saxony, and her brother the fifteen-year-old heir to the throne, Ferdinand (1793-1875), later Emperor Ferdinand I. To the left in the picture is seated the four-year-old Maria Anna (1804-1858), holding out her hand to her brother Franz Karl (1802-1878), who is two years older than her, and will be the father of Emperor Franz Joseph. At the back, the two girls embracing are Maria Klementina (1798-1881) at the age of ten and Leopoldine(1797-1826), later Empress of Brazil, who is a year older. On the lap of the Empress is the three-year-old Johann Nepomuk (1805-1809). The "Bonheur du jour" was originally a combination of writing desk and dressing table and enjoyed great popularity in the 18th century in the French boudoir. The lady of the house of the nobility and fine society often spent the entire morning in the dressing room or bedroom, attending to her toilette, dealing with correspondence or receiving private visitors. Hence the name of this type of furniture as "daytime delight".
