8 x 10, watercolour and gouache, November 2007 This was a commission piece - the client had a favourite painting of this lady that he wanted me to do a version of for him. Elisabeth was born in 1837, she married Franz Joseph the Emperor of Austria in 1854. She gave hiom four children but the marriage was not happy. Elisabeth liked to travel and became famous for her beauty and fashion, as weel as her diets end exercise regimes. She had a 20 inch waist and most likely suffered from anorexia. She died in 1898 after being stabbed in the heart by an anarchist
