Congratulations Timbro and family! Hope mom and baby are doing well!
OK. So, is this a portrait of Elizabeth of…Austria? Bohenia? Aargghh — the one who married Mad King Ludwig of Bavaria. Or am I 'way off the mark? (Btw, who was the artist? Winterhalter? That gauzy confection of a gown is to die for.)
The artist was Winterhalter, yay 🙂 but the subject: Elisabeth of Bavaria, b. Dec. 24, 1837 – d. Sept. 10, 1898. Empress of Austria, Queen of Hungary and Bohemia. Spouse of Francis Joseph I.As for the Mad King Ludwig of Bavaria connection — if any — I'm at a loss.
Yes, as DW spotted, Austria's beloved Sissi– or Elisabeth, if you will. Thanks for the well wishes.
Tim and all, I'm not sure I'm following the references but I just have to say….THERE YOU GO BAREING SHOULDERS AGAIN YOU SHAMELESS THING!
