Sometimes, an exceptional and unusual painting is made all the more historically important because of the artist. Very often, this is because it was the work of a well known painter, or, sometimes, because the painter was not a celebrated artist, but rather, an influential personality. This is the case with this canvas, the work of The Empress Friedrich (1840-1901).
The unsually fluid work depicts the marriage of Stephanie, Queen of Portugal, to Pedro V. The veiled bride can just be seen to left.
