Portrait of Princess Elisabeth of Hesse (1895-1903)
Portrait of Princess Elisabeth of Hesse, dated 1897.
The author is unknown, but according to art historian and expert Thomas Aufleger, it could be Kaulbach. Although he possibly met Elisabeth in 1903, he painted Victoria Melita earlier and this portrait could have been drawn in the same occasion.
The portrait above was once in Victoria Melita's Salon in the Neues Palais. The photo below was taken in 1897 by Joseph Magnus.
source: Hessisches Staatsarchiv Darmstadt. Thank you Thomas for the info!
Apart from this portrait, 2 more portraits of Elisabeth were made in 1897:
-Portrait (probably dating 1897) by court painter Heinrich Reinhard Kröh (1841-1941). It shows Elisabeth sitting on the floor (in profile), dressed up in white lace and playing with one of her many dogs.
-Art-Noveau watercolour by Joseph Hartmann showing Elisabeth in Grand Duchess Alice's rotunda reception room at the Neues Palais in 1897.

#BlackHistory365 Art Round-Up ⬇️
Elsa Soares via @rodrigoincolors
"This is Elsa Soares. She's one of the biggest names in Brazilian music and considered a matriarch of Brazilian black artistry. BBC named her the voice of the millenium and she was one of the most important and loudest voice against racism, LGBTQIA+ and women rights, among other social causes. She's died yesterday at age 91. This is a very simple, but sincere tribute to her. May you rest in power!
Please, listen to her music and search more about this great woman."

Portrait of Sarah Forbes Bonetta by Hannah Uzor
Sarah Forbes Bonetta was an Egbado princess of the Yoruba people in West Africa who was orphaned during a war with the nearby Kingdom of Dahomey and later became the slave of King Ghezo of Dahomey. In a remarkable twist of events, she was liberated from slavery by Captain Frederick E. Forbes of the British Royal Navy and became a goddaughter to Queen Victoria. She was married to Captain James Pinson Labulo Davies, a wealthy Lagos philanthropist.
3. Marian Anderson by @novva
I’ve always wanted to do a series on black classical singers for BHM, so here’s a sketch I squeezed in this week—a tribute to the great Marian Anderson!
Marian Anderson (February 27, 1897 – April 8, 1993) was an African-American opera singer and contralto. In 1939, after the Daughters of the American Revolution refused to allow Anderson to sing to an integrated audience in Washington, D.C, then First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and her husband President Franklin D. Roosevelt arranged for Anderson to perform an open-air concert on the Lincoln Memorial steps on Easter Sunday, April 9, 1939. She was able to deliver a critically acclaimed performance before an integrated crowd of more than 75,000 people, and a radio audience in the millions.
Read more about her accomplishments here, and donate to the National Marian Anderson Museum here.
