Alice Debutante Keppel Mistress Mistresses Violet
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking portrait, Mrs. George Keppel, the renowned socialite and mistress of King Edward VII, is captured with her debutante daughter, Violet Keppel, later known as Violet Trefusis, in 1912. The image, published in the prestigious society magazine, The Tatler, showcases the elegant mother-daughter duo dressed in their finest attire, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the era. Mrs. Keppel, a charismatic and influential figure in London society, was known for her ability to attract distinguished men to her social events. Her balls were the talk of the town, and the beginning of the 1912 season was no exception. The Tatler reported that her latest ball was a resounding success, with many prominent figures in attendance who were not typically seen at such functions. This portrait, therefore, not only captures the beauty and elegance of the mother-daughter pair but also symbolizes the power and influence of Mrs. Keppel in London society. Violet, dressed in her debutante gown, looks radiant and confident, ready to make her entrance into the world of high society. Her mother's influence is evident in her poise and grace, making it clear that she is well-prepared for the social whirlwind that awaits her. The portrait is a testament to the strong bond between mother and daughter and the impact they had on London society during this period. The intricate detailing of their gowns, the elegant poses, and the refined setting all contribute to the timeless beauty of this portrait, making it a significant historical record of the Keppel family and the society they inhabited.
