Summary edit

Description
English: Marie Alexandrovna, Grand Duchess of Russia, Duchess of Edinburgh (1853-1920)

Based on a full-length portrait by Gustav Richter (1823 – 84), signed and dated 1874 (405024; Royal Collection). Queen Victoria was very complimentary in her assessment of the likeness in Richter’s portrait: ‘Richter’s Picture of Marie wh. arrived on Sunday is really a beautiful one – so well painted – & so like every one says’ (RA VIC/ADDU/32/20, January 1874). The young Duchess of Edinburgh herself did not so easily impress everyone at Queen Victoria’s court, however, Sir Henry Ponsonby referring to her as ‘the spoilt daughter of a semi-Eastern despot’ (RA VIC/ADDA/36/585).
