Regal Portrait of a Victorian Monarch

More about Regal Portrait of a Victorian Monarch

A regal portrait of Queen Victoria in a richly detailed, colourful oil painting. She is depicted from the waist up, seated, with a direct and solemn gaze. She wears a magnificent gold dress with blue accents, featuring a low neckline with white lace trim. Adorning her neck are two ornate necklaces: a large statement necklace with a central pearl pendant and a smaller necklace with a cluster of pearls. A distinguished gold and blue ribbon with a small red and white pin crosses her shoulder. Her hair is dark brown, styled in an elegant updo, partially covered by an elaborate diamond tiara. She also wears large pearl drop earrings that complement her jewellery. Her face is pale with a natural flush on her cheeks.

Her left arm, adorned with a red velvet sleeve and white lace cuff, rests gently on a navy blue velvet fabric that drapes across her lap. Two gold rings are visible on her fingers. Her right arm, also in a red velvet sleeve with a white lace cuff, is bent at the elbow, and her hand points gracefully towards the right side of the canvas. She is seated on a lavish gold throne with ornate carvings. The back of the throne features a landscape painting, possibly a pastoral scene, with a vibrant blue sky
