Description: | James Sant was primarily a painter of portraits and from 1872 he was the official portrait painter to Queen Victoria. Having many patrons amongst aristocratic families of Britain, his portraits of noble ladies were flattering even though he considered many of his sitters to wear far too much make-up. Sant had a lengthy career, painting long into old age, until his death at the age of 99. His most popular works were his idealised pictures of children (as shown here) and young women.
