About the Item
Early 20th century oil on board society portrait by French artist Rose Teitgen-Obeurer. Signed top left.
A charming and characterful portrait of a fine lady in a stylish hat and dress. This is possibly a portrait of the Grand Duchess of Luxembourg who Teitgen-Obeurer famously painted at the time of her accession. She has managed to capture the elegance of the sitter, the pose of the head, wonderful flesh tones, the fullness of the lips, the dark yet soulful eyes. It has the feeling of similar portraits of this period by the likes of Philip de László and John Singer Sargent.
Rose Teitgen-Obeurer was a renowned painter of portraits. She lived in Metz, a city in northeast France located at the confluence of the Moselle and the Seille rivers. She exhibited at the G.A.M. from its foundation in 1925. She notably painted the portrait of the Grand Duchess of Luxembourg.
The Metz Museum owns an oil on cardboard by her: Les Vieux Mendiants.
Charlotte (Charlotte Adelgonde Elisabeth Marie Wilhelmine; 23 January 1896 – 9 July 1985) reigned as Grand Duchess of Luxembourg from 14 January 1919 until her abdication on 12 November 1964.
She acceded to the throne on 14 January 1919 following the abdication of her sister, Marie-Adélaïde, due to political pressure over Marie-Adélaïde's role during the German occupation of Luxembourg during World War I. A referendum retained the monarchy with Charlotte as grand duchess.
She married Prince Felix of Bourbon-Parma on 6 November 1919. They had six children. Following the 1940 German invasion of Luxembourg during World War II, Charlotte went into exile: first in France, then Portugal, Great Britain, and North America. While in Britain, she made broadcasts to the people of Luxembourg. She returned to Luxembourg in April 1945.
She abdicated in 1964, and was succeeded by her son Jean. Charlotte died on 9 July 1985. She was the last agnatic member of the House of Nassau. She was the last personal recipient of the Golden Rose and since her death there are no living personal recipients of that honour, which in modern times has been awarded only to churches and shrines.
