1897

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.

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.
