Description
English: Louise was the second wife of Queen Victoria's uncle Leopold of Saxe-Coburg (1790-1865), who was also an uncle of Prince Albert. His first wife was Princess Charlotte, daughter and only direct heir of George IV; she died in 1817. Leopold became King of the Belgians in 1831 and married Louise, daughter of King Louis-Philippe of France in 1832. Leopold played a great part in the upbringing of Queen Victoria and, once married, he and Louise visited her frequently. It is during one such visit in August and September shortly after Queen Victoria's accession that the present portrait was painted. Victoria described Louise, who was seven years older than her, as follows: 'She combines with great cleverness and learning, so much merriment, and has all the liveliness and fun of a girl of 16, with all the sense and deep thought of one of 30.....she is so lovely, so graceful, she had such an angelic expression in her dear eyes, and she dresses so well, morning and evening.'

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1871, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
