Elisabeth of Wied (1843-1916): A Regal Portrait of the Queen Consort of Romania This engraving, created by Dufourneau and published in The Spanish and American Illustration in 1883, showcases Elisabeth of Wied, the Queen Consort of Romania. Born in Sigmaringen, Germany, Elisabeth was a member of the House of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, which also produced several other European monarchs. Elisabeth's elegant attire, adorned with intricate details, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the late 19th century. She wears a diadem on her head, signifying her royal status, and carries a fan, a common accessory for ladies of the time. The brooch on her chest is a distinctive element of her outfit, adding a touch of personal style to her regal appearance. Elisabeth was a contemporary of several notable women of literature, including Pauline Garcia-Olivet, Carmen Sylva, and Ottilie von Goethe. Her own literary pursuits included writing novels under the pseudonym "Luise von Marburg." Her multifaceted personality, as both a queen and a novelist, adds depth to this portrait. Elisabeth's marriage to Carol I of Romania in 1869 marked the beginning of a new era for the Romanian monarchy. Her reign was marked by significant social and political changes, making her an influential figure in European history. This engraving serves as a testament to her regal beauty and the historical significance of her role as queen consort of Romania.
