Portrait of Alexandra of Denmark is an 1864 portrait painting by the German artist Franz Xaver Winterhalter.[1][2][3] It depicts Alexandra of Denmark, then Princess of Wales as the wife of the future Edward VII. Alexandra had arrived in Britain from her native Denmark the previous year for her wedding. As a dynastic match it linked Alexandra, the daughter of Christian IX of Denmark with the son and heir of Queen Victoria.
