EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the youthful beauty and elegance of Elizabeth Asquith, later known as Princess Bibesco, in 1915. Daughter of the British Prime Minister, Herbert Asquith, and his second wife, Margot, Elizabeth was born into a prominent English political family. At the time of this photograph, she was still unmarried, yet her refined demeanor and poised expression hint at the sophisticated and accomplished woman she would become. Elizabeth's life took an unexpected turn when she married Prince Antoine Bibesco, a Romanian diplomat, in 1920. This union brought her into the European aristocracy and marked the beginning of her illustrious career as a writer. Her literary works, which included novels, short stories, and essays, explored themes of love, society, and the human condition. The photograph showcases Elizabeth's exquisite attire, with her high collar and intricate beading, reflecting the fashion trends of the early 20th century. Her expressive eyes and delicate features convey a sense of intelligence and grace, making this portrait a captivating glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who defied societal expectations and forged her own path in literature and love. As the eldest daughter of a British Prime Minister, Elizabeth Asquith's life was steeped in history and political intrigue. Yet, her personal journey, as depicted in this portrait, reveals a woman of depth and complexity who transcended her privileged background to make a lasting impact on literature and society as Princess Bibesco.
