Original Description
Countess Fitzwilliam Wife of the 7th Earl Fitzwilliam by Philip Alexius de László (1910) epitomizes Edwardian aristocratic elegance through luminous brushwork that makes the sitter seem to glow from within. The Hungarian master captures Countess Maud Fitzwilliam in a moment of poised contemplation, her direct gaze and relaxed posture radiating quiet confidence beneath delicate lace veiling. Painted during de László's London zenith (1907–1913), the portrait demonstrates his distinctive synthesis of John Singer Sargent's bravura technique with Franz Liszt's romantic sensibility - evident in the silvery-blue background that melts into shimmering pearl accoutrements. Now housed at Wentworth Woodhouse (the Fitzwilliam ancestral seat), this work solidified de László's reputation as successor to royal portraitists like Winterhalter, having painted four British monarchs while revolutionizing aristocratic portraiture with psychological depth.
For contemporary interiors, this 50×40-inch masterpiece deserves placement where its aristocratic warmth can balance modern spaces. Hang it in a formal dining room against navy walls for dramatic contrast with the Countess's pink-tinted complexion, or install museum lighting above a Carrara marble fireplace in a corporate boardroom to echo the painting's pearlescent highlights. The portrait's restrained color palette harmonizes exceptionally with art deco furnishings - consider a Vladimir Kagan serpentine sofa in taupe velvet beneath it. In smaller spaces, frame a giclée reproduction in a neoclassical gilt frame proportionate to 3/4 of your wall's width, ensuring conversational viewing height (57-60 inches from floor to center). The painting's contemplative mood makes it ideal for bedrooms when paired with Farrow & Ball's Dimity paint - its soft pink undertones will draw out the sitter's complexion while maintaining serene sophistication.
