Portrait of Leonilla, Princess of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn is a 1843 oil by Franz Xaver Winterhalter, a Biedermeier work, held at J. Paul Getty Museum.
The painting depicts a woman reclining on a couch, dressed in a white gown with a pink sash. She wears a pearl necklace and bracelets, with her dark hair pulled back. The background features a serene blue sky with yellow clouds, accompanied by lush greenery and flowers to her right. The woman's attire and the luxurious setting suggest a portrait of nobility. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate folds of her gown and the delicate patterns on the couch. This painting is a fine example of the work of artist Franz Xaver Winterhalter.
