EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking portrait, Countess Haugwitz-Reventlow, formerly known as Barbara Hutton, exudes an air of sophistication and elegance as she gazes intently at the viewer. The Countess, born in New York City in 1912, was an American heiress and socialite who gained notoriety as the "poor little rich girl" due to her numerous marriages and extravagant lifestyle. In this image, taken in 1937 during her visit to New York, Countess Haugwitz-Reventlow is shown in the prime of her youth and beauty. She is dressed in a chic, high-necked blouse and a long, flowing skirt, accessorized with pearls and a string of diamonds. Her hair is styled in soft waves, framing her delicate features. The occasion for this photograph was a significant one in the Countess's life. Following her marriage to her Danish husband, Count Gunther Haugwitz-Reventlow, she had traveled to New York to renounce her American citizenship. This decision marked the beginning of a new chapter in her life, as she embraced her role as a Danish countess and focused her energies on philanthropy and charitable work. Despite her privileged upbringing and wealth, Countess Haugwitz-Reventlow faced numerous challenges throughout her life, including the tragic death of her mother when she was just a child, a series of unhappy marriages, and public scrutiny of her personal life. This portrait captures a moment of respite and reflection, as the Countess looks forward to a new beginning in her life as a Danish noblewoman. Overall, this portrait is a testament to the Countess's resilience and determination in the face of adversity, as well as her timeless beauty and grace. It is a fascinating glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who defied expectations and forged her own path in a world of wealth and privilege.
