EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century portrait, painted by Swedish artist Alexander Roslin in 1777, captures the enchanting beauty and regal elegance of Zoie Ghika, a Moldavian princess. Born into the noble Ghika family, Zoie's lineage traces back to the ancient Dacian rulers of Moldova. The painting, now housed in the National Museum of Stockholm, Sweden, offers a captivating glimpse into the opulent world of European royalty during this era. Zoie's delicate features are accentuated by her intricately laced collar, a symbol of her noble status. The intricate edging and lacing of the collar are meticulously rendered by Roslin, showcasing his exceptional skill as a painter. The princess's flowing, golden curls cascade down her shoulders, framing her serene face adorned with delicate flowers. Her expressive eyes, filled with a sense of quiet strength and wisdom, convey a sense of depth and complexity. The richly textured fabric of her gown, adorned with floral patterns, adds to the overall sense of grandeur and luxury. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the painting transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the opulent world of European monarchs and their courts. As we gaze upon this exquisite portrait, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural diversity that once defined Europe. The portrait of Zoie Ghika, Moldavian Princess, stands as a testament to the beauty, elegance, and complexity of European royalty during the 18th century.
