Crown Princess Margareta of Sweden by Oscar Björck (oil on canvas, 1909)

Elegance is the keyword to describe Oscar Björck's colourful portrait of the young Princess Margareta. The crown princess is painted in her apartment on the lower floor of the northwest wing of the Royal Palace of Stockholm. She stands in the Green Room, in front of a large 18th-century tapestry. Next to her is Sergel's bust of Queen Sofia Magdalena.

The portrait was painted by Oscar Björck, one of Prince Eugen's best and oldest friends. The painting was exhibited at the Baltic Exhibition in Malmö in 1914.

The portrait can be seen in the East Guard's Hall of the Bernadotte Apartments at the Royal Palace of Stockholm.

Princess Alice of Hesse and her daughter Victoria, 1863

—

Princess Alice VA CI (Alice Maud Mary; 25 April 1843 – 14 December 1878) was Grand Duchess of Hesse and by Rhine from 13 June 1877 until her death in 1878 as the wife of Grand Duke Louis IV.

She was the third child and second daughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

Alice was the first of Queen Victoria's nine children to die, and one of three to predecease their mother, who died in 1901.

Her life had been enwrapped in tragedy since her father's death in 1861.

Victoria Alberta Elisabeth Mathilde Marie Mountbatten, Marchioness of Milford Haven VA (born Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine; 5 April 1863 – 24 September 1950) was the eldest daughter of Louis IV, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine, and Princess Alice of the United Kingdom, second daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

The 4 Seasons Tableaux Aesthetic ✨🤍🌛🧡

Tableaux of the Four Seasons was a play put on by 7 of Queen Victoria’ 9 children in 1854 to mark the 14th wedding anniversary of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The material for this play was based on 18th Century poet James Thompson. Each of the children represented the four different seasons. Edward Prince of Wales and Princess Louise represented Winter ❄️, Princess Alice represented Spring 🌸, Victoria Princess Royal and little Prince Arthur represented Summer 🌱, Prince Alfred represented Fall 🍁, and Princess Helena represented the “Spirit Empress” ✨. In her diary Queen Victoria recorded a description of the play.

“The scenery was admirably adapted to each Tableau & appropriate music was played between each. They all looked and did their parts so well…We were all delighted, & the whole, was such a pretty idea.”

— Queen Victoria’s Diary, May 1854

“Queen Victoria was a Slytherin, Prince Albert was Ravenclaw, Victoria, Jr. was Ravenclaw like her dad, Bertie/Edward was a Gryffindor, Alice was a Hufflepuff, Louise was a Gryffindor, Leopold was a Ravenclaw, and Beatrice was a Hufflepuff. But I’m conflicted on Alfred, Helena, and Arthur. Any ideas people?” - Submitted by Anonymous

Princess Sibylla of Sweden by David Tägtström (oil on canvas, 1951)

The Dalarna artist David Tägtström wanted to capture the personalities of his models, rather than their social status. One trick he used was to let his models sit for so long that they stopped posing, and started to relax and just be themselves. "And then it is just a matter of painting," he said.

Princess Sibylla, the mother of our current king, gives an elegant and relaxed impression as she sits in a green silk dress with a fur stole over one shoulder. As a princess, she quickly became much loved by the people of Sweden, together with her daughters, the popular Haga Princesses.

The portrait can be seen in the East Guard's Hall of the Bernadotte Apartments at the Royal Palace of Stockholm.
