Official Portraits - Princely Family of Monaco

[sebastian]

Is Alexandra in any OFFICIAL photoshoot of the family that not be at the balcony? :confused
(sorry for my english..)

No, there's none - not that I know ... that's why we should try to get them to make some new ones

More ideas:

- Albert with Charlotte, Pauline, Camille and Alex - Albert sitting on a bench in the Palace gardens , Alex leaning over his knees, pulling his sleeves, grinning, Pauline holding Alex, Charlotte sitting next to Albert with Camille reaching around her neck from behind ...or something like that

- EA and Steph - Ernst leaning at a bar, Steph leaning on her brother -in - law ... heehehee

Do you know in which room the first photo was photographed?

Whatever pic involving Caroline, and A LOT of Andrea, particularly in a tuxedo...

mine would be whatever combination of charlotte with siblings, charlotte alone and loads more charlotte...

This one is pretty old? Have no idea of the year it is from, but as you can see Stefano was alive and Stephanie had short hair. Probably 1989 according to tigerlilly2005.

1. Stefano Cashiragi was soo hot and Andrea looks a lot like him
2. Grace Kelly has been the most stunningly beautiful woman to ever walk the face of the earth
3. How long have it been since a official family portrait is taken?

 

[tbhrc]

This seems to be the last photoshoot (December 1998) of the family beside that on from July...

[barber]

The family is very close but since Rainier's passing and Albert's ascension, they are not much for publicity.

Ann

This is slightly off-topic but when did Howard Conent die?

Did he take any of the official family portraits or just the magazine shots and such? Was he Grace's official photographer?

Information on portrait of Grace Kelly

Hello, my name is Ron Ortiz, and I am new to this forum. I live in Englewood Florida, USA.
The reason I became a member was to find out who I need to contact about a portrait that was given to me by my mother.
My mother, Virginia Hernandez, at the time some 50 years ago, was briefly married to a Larry Harris who did a hand painting portrait of Grace Kelly when she was 15. The portrait was done when she was applying for modeling.


Thank you,
Ron Ortiz

 

[ZandraRae]

Wow, first of all Ron, welcome! What a treasure, to have a hand painting of Princess Grace! I do not know how to help you on who to contact, but I can tell you how to post the pictures. Just do GO ADVANCED, scroll down until you see the MANAGE ATTACHMENTS, click on it, select the picture you want and then upload it. Once again, what a great find you have, hope to see it!

 

[Ghislaine]

Colour me daft, I probably misunderstood your post, but who exactly do you want to contact and why? If it's the Grimaldis, I wouldn't get your hopes up. From what I've heard, all letters to them end up, unanswered and probably unread as well, in some black hole. Then again, they might be interested in this so they might reply in your case.

On a different subject, I'd love to see your pictures of the painting.

It it just for us to view because we would find it of interest? yes please post it we'd love to see it. Are you just trying to find out info on why it was painted? Are you trying to find out more about Larry Harris as an artist? Or were you interested in selling it or donating it? Usually auction houses can be helpful in obtaining information about artists and also of course about selling works of art. If you just want more information, Sothebys or Christies is a good place to start and they can guide you from there. If you want to give the portrait to the Grimaldi family then I would suggest you contact the Monaco New York City embassy to discuss it with one of the embassy staff. We would in any case love to see the portrait. Thanks


One other thought Ron, if you google artist Larry Harris you will see an entry for a Larry Harris who did a cover for Collier's magazine (in thte 1930's) this is most likely the artist who did your Grace painting and a good place to start with information. A lot of Univ. libraries archives have magazines like Collier's and you can compare his style with that of your portrait. I'm almost certain this is the artist. Sotheby's and Christies can also help you if you mention this fact to them. Hope this helps.

Grace portrait

It took me some time, but I finally resized the pictures to fit this forums viewing.

Thank you for the response.

Ron Ortiz

the portrait looks like Grace at that time.I would keep it or if
you ever needed the money auction it off.
perhaps you could make prints in a limited edition and sell them.that way we could review Grace before she was princess. few of those around{portraits ofGrace} before she became princess. i think that is the only one in existence.
thanks for sharing
