EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century oil on canvas painting captures Desideria, Queen Consort of Carl XIV Johan of Sweden and Norway, in her regal splendor. Born as Clary Eugenie Bernardine Desiree Clary in Marseille, France, Desideria rose to prominence as the mistress of the future King of Sweden and Norway, Carl Johan Bernadotte, before they eventually married in 1810. Desideria's elegant attire in this portrait reflects the opulence and grandeur of the time. She wears a long, flowing dress in a rich, deep color, adorned with intricate patterns and textures. The dress is accentuated by a fur ermine collar, adding an air of sophistication and luxury. Desideria's hair is styled in an elaborate updo, with plumes and feathers adding a playful and feminine touch. She accessorizes the outfit with a necklace and earrings, completing the regal look. Desideria's portrait was painted by renowned Swedish artist Fredric Westin, who expertly captured the essence of the Queen Consort's beauty and grace. This painting is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Sweden and Norway, and offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of the 19th century European monarchy.
