Philip de Laszlo (1869–1937) was the portrait painter that royalty and aristocracy turned to when they wanted to look their absolute best — a Hungarian-born British artist whose dazzling technical facility, psychological acuity, and genuine warmth toward his sitters produced portraits of extraordinary quality and appeal. He painted King Edward VII, Emperor Franz Joseph, Pope Leo XIII, and seemingly every notable figure in early 20th-century European society, bringing to each a freshness and vitality that set him apart from the more formal portraitists of his era. In counted cross stitch, de Laszlo's luminous skin tones, rich costume detail, and psychological warmth translate into designs of real elegance and presence.
