EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1904, we see the elegant French actress Cleo de Merode and her friend Leopold II of Belgium engaged in a cozy moment on a sofa. However, their intimate cuddling session is abruptly interrupted by Leopold's daughters, who are eyeing Cleo's exquisite clothes with envy.
The scene captures a fascinating glimpse into the world of high society during the early 20th century, where relationships between artists and royalty were not uncommon. Cleo de Merode was known for her beauty and talent as an entertainer, while Leopold II was a powerful figure as the King of Belgium.
Despite the interruption from his daughters, Cleo remains composed and graceful, embodying the poise and sophistication that made her a beloved figure in both entertainment circles and aristocratic circles alike. The contrast between her glamorous presence and the youthful innocence of Leopold's daughters adds depth to this historical moment frozen in time.
This print serves as a reminder of an era when social boundaries were blurred, allowing for unlikely friendships to blossom amidst opulent surroundings. It is a testament to the enduring allure of Cleo de Merode and the intrigue surrounding her relationships with influential figures like Leopold II.
