EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print showcases the regal portraits of three remarkable women from European history: Maria, Queen of Portugal, Catherine II, Empress of Russia, and Princess Elizabeth. The intricately detailed medallions, drawn by Grivell and lithographed by Parrot et Co., highlight the distinctive features and regal bearing of each monarch. Maria, depicted on the left, was the Queen Consort of Portugal from 1826 until her death in 1853. Her portrait captures the elegance and grace that defined her reign, with her gentle expression and delicate features. In the center, Catherine II, Empress of Russia from 1762 until her death in 1796, is depicted with a strong and determined gaze. Her portrait underscores her intelligence, strength, and political acumen, which earned her the nickname "The Great Catherine." On the right, Princess Elizabeth, the youngest daughter of Catherine II and Grand Duchess of Russia, is portrayed with a youthful and vibrant energy. Her cameo-style portrait accentuates her striking features and highlights her status as a member of the Russian imperial family. This print is a stunning example of the decorative and artistic ceramic work produced by Josiah Wedgwood and Co. in the late 19th century. The Old Wedgwood collection, published by Quaritch in London in 1898, showcases the company's mastery of chromolithography, a technique that allowed for the production of detailed and colorful images on ceramics. This print would have been a prized possession for collectors and historians, offering a glimpse into the lives and legacies of these three remarkable women.
