EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting portrait graced the front cover of The Tatler magazine in 1912, featuring the elegant and socially prominent Margherita van Raalte. At the time, Margherita was engaged to be married to the esteemed Lord Howard de Walden, a union that would further solidify her place in high society. Margherita was best-known for her remarkable organizational skills and her role in founding Queen Charlotte's Ball, an event that came to be the highlight of the debutante season in 1925. The debutante season was a significant rite of passage for young women in British society, marking their entry into the adult world of social engagements and matrimonial prospects. Margherita's initiative in creating Queen Charlotte's Ball brought a fresh and exciting energy to the tradition, making it a much-anticipated event for the fashionable elite. Margherita's refined beauty and poised demeanor are captured perfectly in this exquisite portrait, which showcases her timeless elegance and sophistication. Her delicate features, adorned with a simple yet elegant hairstyle and a demure smile, radiate an air of grace and charm that continues to captivate viewers over a century later. As a testament to her enduring influence, Margherita's legacy as the founder of Queen Charlotte's Ball lives on, making this portrait a significant historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the world of early 20th-century British high society.
