"Princess Leonilla of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn" is an oil-on-canvas portrait by the German painter Franz Xaver Winterhalter, completed in 1843. The painting is one of Winterhalter's most renowned works, showcasing his skill in capturing the elegance and opulence of the European aristocracy during the mid-19th century. It depicts Leonilla, Princess of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn, a Russian-born aristocrat known for her beauty and sophistication.

The portrait is characterized by its sumptuous detail and the luxurious setting that frames the princess. Leonilla is portrayed reclining on a chaise longue, adorned in a sumptuous silk gown with rich embellishments that reflect her wealth and status. Her pose is both relaxed and regal, with a direct gaze that engages the viewer, embodying the confidence and allure of the sitter. Winterhalter's use of soft, diffused lighting enhances the sensuality of the composition, while the meticulous rendering of textures, from the sheen of the silk to the softness of the skin, demonstrates his mastery of the medium.

Commissioned by the princess's husband, Prince Ludwig of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn, the portrait was intended to capture her in the prime of her life and to reflect the couple's prominent social position. The painting gained acclaim for its artistic merit and as a representation of Winterhalter's style, which blended academic techniques with a flair for capturing the essence of his sitters' personalities and status.

"Princess Leonilla of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn" remains a significant example of Winterhalter's portraiture and is often cited in discussions of 19th-century aristocratic portraiture. The painting is held in a number of prestigious collections and has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world, contributing to Winterhalter's enduring legacy as a court painter and chronicler of European nobility.
