The Getty - Paintings - My Favorite

My favorite  painting at The Getty is a Portrait of Princess Leonilla of Sayn - Wittgenstein - Sayn.
1843
Franz Xaver Winterhalter

Leonilla Ivanovna Bariatinskaia Princess of Sayn Wittgenstein Sayn (Russian: Леонилла Ивановна Барятинская) (9 May 1816 – 1 February 1918) was a Russian aristocrat who married Ludwig, Prince of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn. Known for her great beauty and intellect, Princess Leonilla was the subject of a number of portraits by Franz Xaver Winterhalter.

I love it because she is at a seaside palace and I can just imagine myself there.  She is dressed sumptuously and her surroundings are gorgeous, that, combined with the ocean can only make it a perfect place and time, right?
