A better quality  :) (but black and white  :() version of the silver wedding portrait by Ferdinand Keller (1906)



And a detail of the mosaic "Der Hohenzollernzug" (The procession of the Hohenzollern) in the "Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche" (Emperor Wilhelm Memorial Church) in Berlin by Hermann Schaper (1906) showing the members of the whole dinasty together.
Soory for the bad quality...

Well, since I have a passion for the art, I decided to star this new topic for Kaiser Wilhelm II's portraits and drawings...

William was a good looking man and his portraits captured his appearance nicely, in general. Note how his arm is looking perfectly normal.

Yes, this is exactly the first thing that attracted my attention looking at his portraits...the total naturalness.

Thank you very much for the wonderful portrait!

I'm not sure what is meant by 'naturalness' since the portraits are essentially disguising his disability (perfectly understandable, but hardly 'natural') and show a lot of dressing up in uniforms to portray him as a great military leader, for which he demonstrated no ability whatsoever.  I would agree he was a great poseur.

With the word "naturalness" I wanted to indicate exactly his pose in that portrait, correct me if I'm wrong, but in my opinion his pose looks exactly "natural"...

Somewhat different look here. He is toned down; more mature and naturally confident.
