1. Title: "Lady Sheila Milbanke, Née Chisholm: A Life of Love, Scandal, and Royal Connections" 2.. This portrait captures the enigmatic and elegant figure of Lady Sheila Milbanke, née Chisholm (1895-1969), in 1932. At the time, Lady Sheila was the former wife of Francis Edward Scudamore St Clair-Erskine, Lord Loughborough, and had previously been linked romantically with Albert, Duke of York, the future King George VI, during his visit to Australia in 1920. Born in Sydney, Australia, Lady Sheila's life was marked by a series of high-profile marriages and scandals. After her first marriage, she wed Sir John Milbanke in 1931, and later, in 1954, she married Prince Dmitri Romanoff, a Russian prince in exile. The portrait, taken in the 1930s, showcases Lady Sheila's striking beauty and sophistication. She is dressed in an elegant, colourful gown, her dark hair styled in an intricate updo, and her piercing gaze fixed on the camera. The portrait is a testament to the allure and mystery that surrounded Lady Sheila, making it an intriguing addition to any collection of society portraits from the 1930s. Despite the controversy surrounding her personal life, Lady Sheila remained a figure of fascination in high society, and her story continues to captivate audiences today. This portrait serves as a reminder of a bygone era and the intricate web of relationships and scandals that often accompany the lives of the wealthy and influential.
