The French School artist skillfully portrays the hosts of France in vibrant color lithography, showcasing their majestic stature and royal elegance. King Christian X, who reigned from 1912 to 1947, not only held the title of King of Denmark but also served as the King of Iceland from 1918 to 1944. Alongside him stands his esteemed wife, Queen Alexandrine (1879-1952), a Danish princess originally hailing from Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Their powerful union is beautifully depicted in this artwork. The couple exudes an air of authority and sophistication, with King Christian X donning a military uniform adorned with medals that reflect his distinguished service. Queen Alexandrine radiates grace and poise, wearing a diadem and necklace embellished with pearls that accentuate her royal status. Surrounded by symbols such as oak leaves and laurel wreaths representing strength and victory, this image pays homage to both Denmark's rich heritage and its connection to Iceland. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by these Scandinavian monarchs. Preserved within a private collection today, this historical piece offers us a glimpse into an era defined by grandeur and nobility. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers worldwide while honoring the memory of two remarkable
