The French School artist skillfully portrays the hosts of France in vibrant color lithography, showcasing their majestic stature and royal elegance. King Christian X, who reigned from 1912 to 1947, not only held the title of King of Denmark but also served as the King of Iceland from 1918 to 1944. Alongside him stands his esteemed wife, Queen Alexandrine (1879-1952), a Danish princess originally hailing from Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Their powerful union is beautifully depicted in this artwork. The couple exudes an air of authority and sophistication, with King Christian X donning a military uniform adorned with medals that reflect his distinguished service. Queen Alexandrine radiates grace and poise, wearing a diadem and necklace embellished with pearls that accentuate her royal status.
