Empress Elisabeth, Part III

[Eric_Lowe]

Maybe another lady in waiting of Sisi She seemed to be Hungarian too I think.

[Yelena Aleksandrovna]

Thanks sooo much for the fact Madame Sissi!!! Is obvious that she is Ida!!! ;-)
She didn't change very much with the time!

[Madame-Sisi]

no she only got grey hair...
like the women sitting in the chair but only grey hair when she sits at the desk with ida...

it could also be a stand in for elisabeth (like what her hairdresser fanny feifalik also did)... or family of ida..i am curious who that woman is..its obivously the same women as the so called "grey sisi at the desk"!

Do you now when was taken this photo?

[Carolath Habsburg]

The one of the Kneeling lady?. according her hairdos and fashion i d say before 1876

[Yelena Aleksandrovna]

Thanks for the fact ;-)
And do you know something about when was taken the one of the desk?
I've heard that the ones that considered that was a photo of Sissi, that it was taken perhaps at 90's,
of XIX century.

[Carolath Habsburg]

for what  i see of her dress, i say you re right.

[Yelena Aleksandrovna]

Thank you soo much, just I'd like to know if Sissi was still alive when this photo was taken, perhaps
not, I don't know

[Madame-Sisi]

i read somewhere the foto with the ladie on the desk was taken in 1896/97 if i remember correctly

[Yelena Aleksandrovna]

Thanks Madame Sissi, for this reason perhaps many people consider that is Sissi, but really
I don't know why, she doesn't look like her

[Yelena Aleksandrovna]

In fact Sissi doesn't have too much photos. Even I read that her latest portraits were based in older paintings.

[Yelena Aleksandrovna]

I read in other place (really I don't know how trustful was the info.) but they said that Sissi
covered her face her lat years because the cocaine that she used as medicine against the pain
on her column caused to her face to have some stains... Really I don't know 

[Eric_Lowe]

Never heard that before. I heard she did porcelain treatment to her skin that ended badly.

[Yelena Aleksandrovna]

My God!!! I haven't heard that verssion that you mention.  :oThe official is that she was too vain
to let people to see her face as an old woman, but perhaps there was another reason to keep
it hide
