EDITORS COMMENTS
This half-length portrait captures Grand Duchess Elizabeth Fyodorovna of Hesse (1864-1918), also known as Elisabeth of Hesse and by Rhine, in an elegant and refined manner between 1870 and 1880. The Grand Duchess, who was the wife of Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich of Russia, is depicted facing forward, dressed in fashionable clothing of the time, with a demure expression and a delicate hat adorning her head. Elizabeth was born into the prestigious House of Hesse and by Rhine, a German dynasty, and her marriage to Grand Duke Sergei, a member of the Russian imperial family, made her a significant figure in both German and Russian royal circles. The portrait reflects the meeting of these two influential European countries and the cultural exchange that occurred during this period. The image is a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the 19th century, with the Grand Duchess's intricately designed dress and hat showcasing the intricacies of the era's fashion. The photograph, likely a carte-de-visite, is a valuable heritage art piece that offers a glimpse into the lives of the European royalty of the time. The portrait is currently housed in the Library of Congress, a renowned cultural institution in the United States, and serves as an important addition to their extensive collection of historical photographs. The image not only captures the likeness of Grand Duchess Elizabeth Fyodorovna but also provides insight into the fashion, culture, and history of the 19th century, making it a significant piece of heritage art.
