Lautrec’s mother, Countess Ad�le-Zoë-Marie-Marquette Tapi� de C�leyran (1841-1930), came from an old family from the Aude province. The two families, Toulouse-Lautrec and C�leyran, had been interrelated since the 18th century. Ad�le married her cousin, Count Alphonse-Charles-Marie de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa. After the birth of their second child the couple separated and, after her divorce, Ad�le lived at Malrom� Château where the portrait was painted.
