Countess Elisabeth of Leuchtenberg

Elisabeth of Leuchtenberg (born: March 1537- died: 6 July 1579 in Dillenburg) was the daughter of Landgrave George III, Landgrave of Leuchtenberg and Margravine Barbara of Brandenburg-Ansbach (1495-1552). After her death, the German theologian Christoph Pezel wrote an obituary about her. Portraits At least two portraits of Elisabeth of Leuchtenberg exist. The first is in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in the form of an anonymous picture, made between 1850 and 1930, a reproduction of a painting by an unknown painter. The second is a drawing in circular shape. Another portrait, also made by an anonymous painter, was initially identified as portrait of Charlotte of Bourbon, but it was later identified by L.J. van der Klooster as possibly Elisabeth van Leuchtenberg.
