EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the regal presence of Tsar Ferdinand I of Bulgaria (1861-1948) and his second wife, Eleonore Reuss of Köstritz (1860-1917), created by German artist Artur Weinert around 1908. The image, rendered in pastel on cardboard, showcases the couple in formal attire, exuding an air of sophistication and grace. Ferdinand I, born as Prince Ferdinand Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, ascended to the Bulgarian throne in 1887 following the abdication of his uncle, Prince Alexander I. His reign was marked by modernization and Europeanization efforts, as well as Bulgaria's involvement in the Balkan Wars and World War I. Eleonore, a German princess, was Ferdinand's second wife. They married in 1893, and their union produced four children. In this portrait, Eleonore's elegant attire and demure expression complement Ferdinand's stern yet resolute gaze, reflecting the strong bond between them. Artur Weinert, an active artist around 1908, skillfully captured the essence of the royal couple, immortalizing their likenesses in this beautiful pastel work. The portrait is a testament to the artistic talent of Weinert and the enduring legacy of the Bulgarian monarchy.
