Description: | Oil on canvas. Queen Victoria is depicted in a black satin dress and white head-dress, still mourning the death of her husband, Prince Albert, who died on 14 December 1861. This painting by Dorofield Hardy is a copy after the original portrait of 1875 by Heinrich von Angeli. Victoria was clearly pleased with it as she commissioned a second portrait from the artist some 10 years later. Angeli painted her for a third time, as an elderly woman, just two years before her death in 1899 and all three portraits remain in the Royal Collection. | Subjects: | ring Order of the Garter queen riband 19th century costume brooch Royal Order of Victoria & Albert veil earring bracelet widow royal portrait dress pearls woman ribbon column Queen Victoria pillar handkerchief necklace | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | Dorofield Hardy (Copyist) | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
