EDITORS COMMENTS
Evelyn, Marchioness of Downshire, depicted in an exquisite oil painting by the renowned Hungarian artist, Philip Alexius de László. The portrait, created in 1919, captures the essence of the Marchioness's grace and elegance. Evelyn, born into the British aristocracy, was the daughter of the 7th Earl of Bessborough and Lady Maud Montagu-Stuart-Wortley. She married the 6th Marquess of Downshire, James Edward Paulet, in 1913, and the painting was likely commissioned to mark the occasion of their marriage or the birth of their first child. Philip Alexius de László was a prolific and celebrated portrait painter of the early 20th century. He was known for his ability to capture the likeness and personality of his subjects with remarkable accuracy and sensitivity. In this painting, László masterfully portrays Evelyn's refined features, expressive eyes, and the delicate texture of her gown. The rich, vibrant colors and intricate brushstrokes bring the portrait to life, making it a stunning work of art that continues to captivate viewers today. The painting is a testament to the artistic collaboration between the sitter and the artist, as well as the cultural exchange between Hungary and the United Kingdom during the early 20th century. It is a valuable addition to the historical record of the British aristocracy and the artistic legacy of Philip Alexius de László.
