    Actually, Countess Dénes Széchényi, (née Émilie de Riquet, comtesse de Caraman-Chimay) in a painting by Philip de László. A color version of the painting is on Wikimedia Commons:

    So old and....so cold. Indeed, the face that's watching you reminds me of those Belle Époque women (as she is), so sad in every photograph, or at least posing with a proud that lends a hand to sadness. Romanticism is always a particular.
  • Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks trialsanderrors for clarifying her correct name. We'll fill in the caption the next time we update the record. The painting was done in 1912 according to the catalogue raisonne.

    That would be Mrs. Arthur Scott-Burden--she was an heiress and an equestrian champion in the 1910s. She was formerly the Honorable Cynthia Burke Roche, of London (1884-1966); her maternal grandfather was a protegee of Cornelius Vanderbilt. After Scott-Burden (b. 1879) died in a 1921 polo accident, she remarried in 1922, to Guy Fairfax Cary. Mrs. Scott-Burden's brother, Edmund Maurice Burke Roche (1885-1955), was the grandfather of Diana Spencer.
  • Art Siegel said:
    Princess Diana's great aunt, then?
  • Harry Angstrom said:
    Speak of the devil, we have a photo on here of this fellow called Maurice Roche, might he be the same brother? www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2163448066/in/s...

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called 1910s Fashion, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
