EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the likeness of Princess Sophia of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, Countess Mensdorff Pouilly (1778-1835), a significant figure in European royal history. Sister of King Leopold I of the Belgians and the maternal grandmother of Queen Victoria, Sophia's influence extended beyond her native Germany. Born in Coburg, Saxony, Sophia was the eldest daughter of Duke Francis Frederick Charles of Saxe-Coburg and Saxe-Saalfeld, Princess Augusta of Saxe-Meiningen. Her marriage to Prince Albert of Saxe-Teschen in 1795 produced five children, including the future King Leopold I of Belgium. In 1816, Sophia's daughter, Charlotte, married Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who later became King of Belgium in 1831. This union further strengthened the ties between the Saxe-Coburg and Belgian royal families. Sophia's second son, Ernest I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, married Queen Victoria's mother, Victoria of Saxe-Coburg and Saxe-Gotha, in 1818. This marriage made Queen Victoria a Saxe-Coburg princess by birth and a German princess by descent. This portrait, believed to have been taken around 1825, showcases Princess Sophia's regal bearing and striking features. Her elegant attire, adorned with pearls and intricate embroidery, reflects the opulence and sophistication of the time. The portrait not only serves as a testament to Sophia's aristocratic status but also highlights her crucial role in shaping the European royal landscape, particularly in the Belgian and British monarchies. As an aunt to a king and a grandmother to a queen, Princess Sophia of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, Countess Mensdorff Pouilly, remains an essential figure in the annals of European royal history.
