Portret van Elisabeth van Leuchtenberg 1850 - 1930

This anonymous portrait of Elisabeth of Leuchtenberg, a member of the Russian Imperial family, dates from between 1850 and 1930. The small format of the piece, measuring 138 mm by 108 mm, suggests it may be a study or sketch. The artwork is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam. Elisabeth is depicted in a formal pose, wearing a dark dress, with a decorative collar and a jeweled pendant hanging from her neck. Her headdress features a plume of feathers and a jeweled band. The artist's focus on detail and rendering of fabric textures is notable.
