EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant silhouette portrait, Princess Marie Louise of Schleswig-Holstein, the fourth child and youngest daughter of Princess Helena and Prince Christian, is depicted in profile against a delicate background. The portrait, created by the renowned English silhouette artist H. L. Oakley around 1930, captures the princess's striking features and regal bearing. Marie Louise was born in 1872 at the Palace of Marlborough House in London, making her a granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Her parents were the Duke and Duchess of Schleswig-Holstein, and she spent much of her childhood in the Danish duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. The silhouette technique, popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, involves cutting out the subject's profile against a contrasting background, creating a bold and striking image. In this portrait, Oakley expertly captures the intricacies of Marie Louise's profile, from the delicate curve of her cheekbone to the subtle lines of her nose and mouth. The princess's elegant hairstyle, with its swept-back waves and intricate braiding, adds to the refined and sophisticated air of the portrait. Her regal bearing and piercing gaze convey a sense of confidence and poise, fitting for a member of the royal family. Despite her royal lineage, Marie Louise lived a relatively quiet and private life. She married Prince Friedrich of Hesse and by Rhine in 1895 and had three children. She passed away in 1956 at the age of 84. This beautiful silhouette portrait by H. L. Oakley offers a glimpse into the life of a lesser-known member of the royal family, showcasing her striking beauty and regal presence.
