Thanks Marianne for letting us know that Members on RJWMB and GREMB were mentioned in this new lovely book about Queen's Margrethe's Portraits...absolutely fantastic...Congrats to all the fellow posters
In addition I really liked this new unveiled portrait of 3 generations (I call it)...I think of it as Past, present and future rulers because to me QMII represents past in addition to present with Frederik
The details in this painting are done absolutely stunning...mostly of course I paid attention to the Jewels...and I have to admit that the painted emerald tiara looks better (IMHO) than the actual one worn by the Queen I always was amazed by the necklace (stone size and design) and chandelier earrings and corsage..but tiara always looked like unbalanced...not literally but more in the design...I believe that the central emerald should have been placed little higher...or larger stone should have been used to have more balance between tiara and a necklace...that way visually it would have looked more complete, if that makes sense.
The only thing that I can't remember is Queen Margrethe wearing emerald parure with this pink dress...I just went through all the photos that I have of her in this dress and either she wore Pearl parure or Crown diamonds but never emeralds..I wonder if the Queen was painted first, and the jewels added later by her request? because I surely don't remember this combination.
