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.

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