This portrait of a blonde lady standing next to a baroque chest of drawers has been offered at several auctions. According to a note by the archivar of the Vienna Künstlerhaus ("von Seybel") the person depicted could be Lini von Seybel, since 1916 married von Ringhoffer. This would make her one of the few persons portrayed three times by the artist (exceeded only by emperor Charles): 1912, 1920, and 1922 with her son Wenzel).

Aline Emilie Pauline "Lini" von Seybel, married von Ringhoffer, 24.12.1891 Vienna bis 7.7.1957 Salzburg. Much portrayed beauty, companion of Nathaniel Rothschild.
