Antique Portrait Vase of Queen Louise Germany-Prussia
THIS HAND PAINTED FULL LENGTH PORTRAIT IS OF QUEEN LOUISE, IN A LONG FUR CAPE. THE BACKGROUND OF THE VASE IS IN SHADES OF DEEP GREEN, OCHRE, GOLD AND RED MAHOGANY.
"Queen Louise oF Prussia rode among the Prussian soldiers wearing a Colonel's coat and waving a Prussian banner.
A beautiful and fashionable
young woman, her popularity is very similar to that of Diana, Princess of Wales
and the Austrian Empress Elizabeth. She was probably the most famous and
well-loved queen consort in German history. She was Queen Louise of Prussia,
wife of King Frederick William II of Prussia.
Queen Louise was quite an eccentric and had several pomeranian dogs which she would hide about her person when visiting abroad which caused problems when travelling through customs (which she usually did under the pseudonym "Countess of Gripsholm" or "Mrs Olsson")."
