Seems to be from same sitting as this Bain1913 entry:


Flickr user Stavros Kammas identified her as follows:
Queen Sophia of Greece was actually the grandaughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom since she was the daughter of her oldest daughter, Princess Victoria, and Friedrich the III, the German Emperor and King of Prussia. She was born in Germany in 1870 and died in Germany in 1932 from cancer. More information can be found here:

"PRINCESS CHIMAY DIES IN HOME HERE; The Former Mrs. Rutherfurd Stuyvesant Aided Charity Drive in 1st World War" from NYT of July 11, 1948 (needs subscription) select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F40811F63F59157A... "During the first World War, the former Mrs. Stuyvesant was treasurer of the American Fund for the Charite Meternelle [sic] de Paris." Rutherfurd Stuyvesant was already dead by that time. {Note: the correct name for the charity is Charite Maternelle de Paris.} From www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=21850289 "Matilda Elizabeth Loewenguth was the daughter of Joseph Loewenguth of Herrenwald, Alsatla. She was the widow of a Dutch Count. Countess Matilde Elizabeth De Wassanaer (nee Matilde Lowenguth) married Rutherfurd Stuyvesant on 6/16/1902. She was his second wife, as his first wife, Mary Pierrepont (married 1863) died (during childbirth) in 1897 without children" There is plenty more information in her Find-a-Grave record an at her husband's: www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=14841584

At records.ancestry.com/Mathilde_Elizabeth_Loewenguth_record... someone has identified this picture as being of her.

A 1903 portrait of her is at www.nyhistory.org/node/46532.

The woman on this photo is not Mrs. Rutherford Stuyvesant, it's May Palmer Depew, the wife of Chauncey M. Depew (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauncey_Depew).

As I searched for photos of Mrs. Rutherford Stuyvesant in the newspapers, I found one (in The Salt Lake tribune., July 20, 1913, Second News Section, Image 13), but it has not much similarity, but another photo on the same page has: this of Mrs. Depew, with the same hair jewelry. The same photos are in The Washington herald., July 20, 1913, Page 5.

Other photos of May Palmer Depew, e.g. in The San Francisco call., March 16, 1902, Image 3 prove that not the newspapers mixed up the photos, but the Bain agency.

I presume that this photo was taken long before 1915. There are other Bain photos of Mrs. Depew which had been taken later, p.e.

Her portrait appears here, in the 1913-14 Bain News Agency photostream, because she died on December 30, 1913. Sweden's longest-reigning queen: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophia_of_Nassau
