Portraits Of King Saud
This portrait stands as a distinguished example of the high artistry achieved by the Lafayette Studio. The image of Prince Saud was hand‑colored with watercolor and pastel, then meticulously enhanced with delicate touches of oil paint to accentuate the golden embroidery of his robe, the jewels and pearls adorning his sword, and the subtle gleam in his eyes. It was taken in London in 1930.
