A lovely oil painting depicting Princess Marina, the Duchess of Kent. Princess Marina was a member of the British Royal Family & was the wife of Prince George, Duke of Kent who was the fourth son of George V and Queen Mary. The oil painting is executed on a wooden panel and has information on the back, some is burnt into the wood and there are papers with a family Genealogy. It is hard to decipher the words but one sections is marked "Copy ...., of Kent 1939". One of the papers notes her father was Prince Nicholas of Greece and her mother was Her Imperial and Royal Highness, the Grand Duchess Helen Vladimirovna of Russia. The painting is beautifully executed. There are brush strokes and variations in color so it is an original oil, I just am not sure if it was done over a print. I don't know how old the art work is, perhaps vintage? The painting is in a silver gilt frame. Overall dimensions are 19 3/4" x 15 7/8". The painting and frame are both in very good overall condition. There is a brownish mark on the top right side of the painting, see photo's. The painting has a lovely Art Deco feel and is very stylish, it would stand out in any art collection.
