Cambaceres leaves only one made
painting of alive(the painting of Schopin dating from the Second Empire)
: this one was
given by Cambaceres to Joseph-Basile Ducos, regent of the Bank
of France. This painting is lost today.
One knows two small portraits carried out with
the pencil by Frederic de Houdetot, when he was auditor at
the Council of State and an anonymous watercolour found with a letter in the
files of the Bank
of France.
