Henri was born at Mézières, the son of François de Bourbon, Duke of Montpensier, and of his wife Renée d'Anjou, marquise de Mézières.
In 1831 Hersent made his last appearance at the Salon with portraits of Louis Philippe, Marie Amélie and the duke of Montpensier; that of the king though good, is not equal to the portrait of Spontini (Berlin), which is probably Hersent's chef-d'œuvre.
