One-of-a-kind portrait by renowned artist Peter Engels, celebrated for his portraits of Nelson Mandela (shown in Times Square on Mandela’s birthday), Brigitte Bardot (with her approval), and Karl Lagerfeld (who called Peter Engels the “painter of his soul”). Prince Albert of Monaco acquired the first portrait of his mother Princess Grace Kelly, outbidding the mayor of Èze in a spirited auction in Monte Carlo, and Richard Branson modelled live for his portrait painting. Description: Elegance before royalty. A private moment, forever captured. This is the second Grace Kelly portrait ever painted by Peter Engels. It is rare and intimate view of the young actress before she became Princess Grace of Monaco. Peter Engels' first portrait was acquired directly by Prince Albert of Monaco, marking the beginning of Engels’ royal connection and cementing his reputation as an artist of global significance. In this painting Peter Engels imagines Grace as serene, unguarded, and radiant, presenting a vision of calm introspection. Painted with his signature palette knife technique in vintage sepia tones, the portrait conveys both her natural beauty and her quiet strength. Accompanying the main portrait is a smaller canvas inscribed with her iconic quote: “Don’t be like the rest of them, Darling.” This transforms the work into a dual tribute, both visual and philosophical, underscoring individuality, elegance, and timeless charm. Exhibited in London, this artwork stands as a refined and investment-worthy acquisition. A portrait of Grace Kelly as only Peter Engels could portray her.
