Belgian Royalty: Leopold III's Portrait


Figure 1.--Here is a formal portrait of Prince Leopold, Duc de Brabant, at the age of 12 years. The portrait was painted in 1913 by the famous Belgian realist and symbolist painter, Fernand Khnopff (1858-1921). This is not a very clear image. We hope to eventually acquire a better copy.

Here is a formal portrait of Prince Leopold, Duc de Brabant, at the age of 12 years. The portrait was painted in 1913 by the famous Belgian realist and symbolist painter, Fernand Khnopff (1858-1921). Here Prince Leopold is wearing a Little Lord Fauntleroy knee trousers suit similar to the one shown in the photograph of the prince or his Bavarian cousion Luitpold wearing a white knee trousers suit with white stockings. Here, obviously, the boy in Khnopff's portrait is wearing knee pants with black stockings.
