專家說明
Princess Alexandra of Bavaria, the eighth child and fifth daughter of King Ludwig I of Bavaria (see lot 235), never married, and was appointed abbess of the Royal Chapter for Ladies of Saint Anne in Munich and Würzburg, a religious community specifically for noble ladies. Notwithstanding certain literary accomplishments, Alexandra suffered from several psychological eccentricities, including a fixation with cleanliness. She only used to wear white clothes, as in the present portrait which is a copy after Josef Karl Stieler's oil painting of 1845 now at Nymphenburg Castle, Munich, part of King Ludwig's Gallery of Beauties.
