1842 Elise List by Joseph Karl Stieler (Schönheitengallerie, Schloß Nymphenburg - München Germany)

Her article in the arrayedingold.blogspot.com/2011/11/gallery-of-beauties, that this image comes from, has this, "Elise was born in Stuttgart, the second daughter of an economist named Friedrich List and his wife Caroline, née Seybold. She married an Austrian factory owner. She was introduced to the king by his half-sister Queen Elisabeth of Prussia, who told Ludwig, 'She sang for us with a very beautiful voice but her face pleased me even more than her singing  and I think she would be worthy of being included in your collection of beauties.'"

Elise's dress has a lace bertha while she wears a hurluberlu coiffure for her 1842 Stieler portrait.
