    What a tragic life! Beauty, wealth, and power are no guarantee for happiness.
    Winterhalter’s portrait of Empress Elisabeth is perfect in every way. The light on her gown is stunningly executed.

      I completely agree, Rosaliene: “Beauty, wealth, and power are no guarantee for happiness.” ❤️🙏

    Beautiful painting.

    I was always impressed with Romy Schneider’s performance as the Empress Elizabeth in the 1950s movie Sisi.
