EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegant and refined beauty of Priscilla, Countess Annesley, painted by the renowned Hungarian artist, Philip Alexius de Laszlo in 1915. The pastel drawing on paper mounted on board showcases Priscilla's striking features, with her piercing gaze and delicate facial expressions, framed by a cascade of chestnut curls. The artist's masterful use of pastels creates a soft, ethereal effect, capturing the essence of the sitter's timeless allure. Priscilla, Countess Annesley, was a member of the British aristocracy, born in 1870, and was known for her grace and style. Her aristocratic lineage can be traced back to the Norman Conquest of England. The portrait was painted during a time when Priscilla was at the height of her social prominence, and the portrait serves as a testament to her status and beauty. Philip Alexius de Laszlo was a prolific and celebrated artist, renowned for his portraits of European nobility and royalty. Born in Hungary in 1869, he studied at the Royal Academy in London and quickly gained a reputation for his exceptional skill and artistic vision. His works are characterized by their meticulous attention to detail and their ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This exquisite portrait of Priscilla, Countess Annesley, is a prime example of Laszlo's artistic prowess and serves as a reminder of the beauty and elegance of the past. The portrait invites the viewer to ponder the life and story of the sitter, and to appreciate the timeless allure of a bygone era.
