Question about and/or Help with Picture(s)

[Grandduchess Valeria]

What about a brasilian, portugues or spanish woman? The name of the painter (the first letters) seem like a ferng ... or feng or fernq... or fenq.. for me

[Rasputin]

Could somebody recognize these girls?

Thanks, good idea.

Could this lady be someone connected to royalty?I think that she is nobility already by seeing her wearing a tiara and coat of arms with the crown on her chair...



Anybody?Any similarity with some royals?

Found that it is labeled as:"Bildnis einer fürstlichen Dame." by Artur Ferraris but still don't know the period and who could it be???

[Carolath Habsburg]

I d say, judging her hairdo and dress, between 1850- 1860. But, since Ferraris was born in 1856, it could be in mids 1870s or some 20th century lady in period costume (till 1936, cause Ferraris died in that year)

True,tough to say...it also says in German:

"Ganzfigur in gelbem Kleid, nach links in einem roten Armlehnstuhl an einem Tisch sitzend. Mit perlenbesetztem Diadem, in der linken Hand einen Fächer haltend. Auf der Stuhllehne gesticktes fürstliches Wappen. R. u. signiert."


Arthur von Ferarris was born in Hungary,but during teenage period moved to Vienna where he stayed until 1876 when he moved to Paris until 1885 when again he moved to Egypt...he moved to Budapest in 1893 but in 1894 he left for Berlin,but soon again found himself in Vienna...

Those years might help to identify the person painted or even "locate" her...

[Clelia]

Can someone identify this lady please?

[Carolath Habsburg]

Alexandrine von mecklenburg Schwering, later queen of Denmark ^^

[Clelia]

Thanks! It crossed my mind that it could be her because of the photographer, but since I'm not very familiar with her and have seen few of her pictures I wasn't sure.

Yes it was her. She was nicknamed "Adini" and was popular with the family. This must have been taken when she was first "out" of the schoolroom as her hair just seemed to come up.

Wonderful picture!

 I only knew a pic of her in the wedding of King Leopold III of Belgium with Astrid of Sweden. On this picture she was already old and rather ugly... It's an amazing surprise to see how pretty she was when she was young...
