EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the regal presence of Duchess Elisabeth of Bavaria (1876-1965), who would later become Queen Consort of the Belgians as the spouse of King Albert I. The image, taken around 1909, showcases Elisabeth's elegant and unusual sense of style. She wears a long overcoat with a choker neckline and a tiara adorned with pearls and an unusual design, adding to her stern yet captivating expression. Elisabeth was the mother of King Leopold III of Belgium and Queen Marie Jose of Italy, and grandmother of Kings Baudouin and Albert II of Belgium. Her Bavarian upbringing influenced her strong sense of duty and devotion to her family and country. The photograph was taken during Elisabeth's time in Bavaria, where she spent her early years. Her sister Gabriele, who is also depicted in the image, was a frequent companion and confidant. The sisters' close relationship is evident in their body language and shared gaze. Despite the formal setting, the photograph captures a moment of intimacy and connection between the two sisters. Elisabeth's regal bearing and striking appearance make this an exceptional portrait of a remarkable woman in Belgian history.
