EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegance and allure of Mary Victoria Leiter (1863-1942), an American heiress who became the Marchioness Curzon of Kedleston upon her marriage to George Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston, in 1895. Mary, known as 'Minnie' to her friends and family, was the daughter of Levi Leiter and Marshall Field, the founder of the renowned Chicago department store. Born into wealth and privilege, Mary was one of the so-called 'dollar princesses,' a group of American heiresses who married into the British nobility during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Her marriage to Curzon, a prominent statesman and Viceroy of India, elevated her to the aristocracy and the peerage, securing her place in British high society. The portrait, taken in 1904, showcases Mary's refined beauty and sophistication. She wears an elegant gown adorned with intricate beading and lace, accessorized with a stunning diamond and pearl necklace and a coronet adorned with precious stones. Her expression is confident and poised, reflecting her newfound status as an aristocrat and the wife of a Marquess. Mary's marriage to Curzon was a love match, and they shared a deep bond that lasted until his death in 1925. Together, they traveled extensively, including several trips to India, where Curzon served as Viceroy from 1899 to 1905. Mary was known for her generosity, philanthropy, and patronage of the arts, and she continued to be an influential figure in British society long after her husband's passing. This portrait is a testament to Mary's beauty, grace, and the opulence of the Gilded Age, offering a glimpse into the world of American heiresses and the British aristocracy at the turn of the 20th century.
