Edinburgh Hohenlohe Langenburg Margaret Margarita Philip Silhouettes Sister Sisters 1926
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative silhouette portrait, Princess Margaret of Greece, also known as Margarita, is depicted in profile against a backdrop of the radiant Greek sun. The eldest child of Prince Andrew of Greece and Princess Alice of Battenberg, Margaret was born in Mon Repos Palace in Corfu in 1905. Her siblings included the future Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip. This striking image, captured in 1926, showcases the elegant and regal bearing of the young princess. With her dark, flowing hair and delicate features, Margaret's silhouette exudes an air of refinement and grace. The intricate details of her headdress and the delicate folds of her gown are beautifully rendered, adding to the overall elegance of the portrait. As a member of the Greek royal family, Margaret's life was marked by both privilege and tragedy. Her family was exiled from Greece during the political upheaval of the 1920s, and they eventually settled in Paris. In 1931, Margaret married Prince Godofredo of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, a German prince, and the couple went on to have five children. Despite the challenges and upheavals of her life, Margaret remained a devoted wife and mother, and she was known for her kindness and generosity. This silhouette portrait serves as a poignant reminder of the beauty and grace of a remarkable woman, and a testament to the enduring allure of royal history. The silhouette technique, popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, involves cutting out the shape of an object or person from paper or cardboard and then tracing the outline onto a background. The result is a bold, graphic image that captures the essence of the subject while eliminating extraneous details. In this portrait of Princess Margaret, the silhouette technique adds a timeless and romantic quality, transporting us back to a bygone era of royalty and elegance.
