Queen Victoria self-portrait, 1845
In 2011 I showed a self-portrait of princess Victoria, created when she was 16 years old (and still a princess). The sketch above shows her at the age of 25. The portrait was inscribed by Victoria: "Ball dress May 19, 1845".

She obviously had talent. Also obviously I can't judge the resemblance...
ReplyDeleteQueen Victoria will be eternal. The largest African lake, a state of Australia, a volcano in New Zealand, a line of the underground in London, a town in Canada, etc.
ReplyDeleteIn all the world there is her name still echoing.
I admire her honesty in adding the double chin!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing Victoria's self-portrait and her other drawings in the link you provided. She was talented and quite accurate in the depictions of herself and family members.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy Victorian history and seem to be discovering more as I get older. Neat little sketcher she was - and the eye shape is captured very well.
