Marie Duplessis was born in 1824 as Rose Alphonsine Plessis in a poor family she was passed around as a child and only moved to Paris when she came of age. While in Paris she was constantly in and out of jobs and soon came to realise that her looks were best asset. So she began her life as a courtesan and began to work her way up to the wealthiest citizens of Paris. Her head was turned by the wealth and her days were now filled with shopping and getting ready for the Salon's, Parties or…

Six years into her reign, 24-year-old Queen Victoria commissioned this never-before-seen portrait as a surprise birthday gift for her beloved husband, Prince Albert. Painted in 1843 by Franz Xaver Winterhalter, it was Albert’s favorite portrait of her. He kept it in a private room at Windsor Castle, and didn't let anyone else view it.

Victorian style and custom was influenced by this Queen.
