Princess Elisabeth Vilma Lwoff-Parlaghy (1863 - 1923). Hungarian-born painter who worked in the German Empire and the United States. She is known to have painted about 120 portraits of prominent Americans and Europeans between 1884 and 1923.
In 1899, she married the Russian Prince Georgy Lvov in Prague; they were quickly divorced, though she continued to style herself the "Princess Lwoff-Parlaghy" using her artist name with the authorization of Prince Lvov.

She was described by a reporter as possessing..
"...red gold hair, curls and coils and braids of it, big black eyes [and] a rosebud mouth."
