Prince Ernst of Hohenberg, a son of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Sophie Chotek, is the subject here, though the identification comes from unverified Bain News Service caption cards. His parents' assassination at Sarajevo in June 1914 helped set off World War I, which gave the family a central place in European news that year. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, supplied images like this one to newspapers across the country, so the collection documents many figures of the period. The record gives no date, so the portrait is best understood as a glimpse of a young noble whose family stood at the center of European politics.
