Oil Portrait Of Queen Alexandra By Alfred Praga
OIL PORTRAIT OF QUEEN ALEXANDRA BY ALFRED PRAGA SIGNED & DATED 1909 BEAUTIFULLY FRAMED 30 X 35 INCHES.
DESCRIPTION
We are delighted to offer for sale this large oil on canvas portrait by the celebrated artist ALFRED PRAGA RBA PSM who has signed the painting in the lower right hand corner and dated it 1909.
The painting is a half length portrait,turned to the right,of an aristocratic lady.She has her red hair piled up on top of her head and is wearing a choker necklace high around her throat.
Queen Alexandra always wore either necklaces like this or very high necklines,to cover a small scar on her neck from an operation in childhood.
This may well be a portrait of Queen Alexandra,the wife of King Edward VII,as it bears a considerable resemblance to known pictures of her.
ALFRED PRAGA RBA PSM B1867-D1949.
Was an English portrait,genre,miniature and pastel painter,who was born in Liverpool.
He studied art at South Kensington,at the Royal Academy Schools,in Paris and Antwerp.

One of his miniatures is in Queen Mary's Dolls House and there are two of his paintings in the National Collections.
For those interested in the artist,there is an interesting video with no sound, available at Pathe news,of an interview with Alfred Praga in 1925.If you would like to see it,please look the artist up on google.
