Princess Marie Alexandrine of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach

Princess Marie Alexandrine of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach is an Impressionism painter. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Rijksmuseum.

She preferred paint to palace balls and kept a messy studio in The Hague, where she painted well into her seventies. One summer she locked herself in with August Allebé, a Dutch painter half her age, and turned him into a wide-eyed, loose-brushed portrait that feels like a backstage glimpse rather than a throne photo. If you like loose brushwork with a human pulse, tap “Portrait of August Allebé” and see why Dutch portraiture could be warm, not stiff.
