HRH Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (British, 1876-1936) A still life of a flowering currant and a Chinese jade dragon-handled vase signed with initials lower right “VM” oil on canvas 40 x 37cm (16 x 14in). HRH Princess Victoria Melita of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was the daughter of Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Edinburgh and the Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia - and thus granddaughter of Queen Victoria, as well as of Tsar Alexander II of Russia. She married, due to family pressure, Ernest Louis, Grand Duke of Hesse in 1894, but caused a scandal by divorcing him in 1901 to marry her first love, her maternal first cousin Kirill Vladimirovich, Grand Duke of Russia, in 1905 without the permission of the Tsar. Nicholas II stripped Kirill of his offices and honours and the newlyweds were banished from Russia. They fled to Paris, where they had two daughters before being allowed to return to Russia in 1910, where in 1917 her only son was born but with the fall of the Russian monarchy they all fled to Finland. In 1926, Kirill proclaimed himself Emperor in exile and Victoria supported her husband’s claims. The Princess died in 1936 after suffering a stroke while visiting her daughter Maria in Amorbach, Bavaria, Germany.
