EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic allure of the 12th Countess of Seafield, Nina Caroline Ogilvie-Grant, as she gazes back at us with a mysterious smile. Born in 1906, the Countess was only nine years old when she inherited the title and the vast Seafield Estate in Scotland. In 1930, she married Derek Herbert Ogilvie-Grant-Studley-Herbert, but the union ended in divorce in 1957. Madame Yevonde, a renowned British society photographer, captured the Countess's elegance and sophistication in this stunning 1932 portrait. The Countess's impeccable style is on full display, with her wearing a chic backless gown adorned with a single carnation. The use of a monochromatic palette adds to the timeless and classic feel of the image. As a member of the aristocracy, the Countess of Seafield was a prominent figure in high society during the 1930s. Her portrait by Madame Yevonde is a testament to the upper class's enduring fascination with beauty, style, and tradition. The Countess's enigmatic expression and the photographer's masterful use of light and shadow create an image that continues to captivate audiences today. This portrait is a must-have for any collection focusing on the history of fashion, portraiture, or the aristocracy in the 1930s.
