Portret van koningin Elisabeth in Beieren, koningin der Belgen 1914 - 1918

This portrait of Queen Elisabeth of Belgium, by Belgian artist Léontine Dobrecourt, was created sometime between 1914 and 1918. The black and white photograph, measuring just 135mm high by 85mm wide, captures the Queen's regal composure as she looks directly at the viewer. She is dressed in a light-colored blouse with a dark jacket, and her hair is covered by a turban-style headscarf with a decorative tassel. The formal nature of the portrait, along with the inscription "S.M. La Reine des Belges," reinforces the Queen's status as a sovereign figure.
