Painting Description
"Queen Victoria in Her Robes of State" is an iconic watercolor painting by Swiss-born British artist Alfred-Edward Chalon (1780–1860). Created in 1837, the artwork depicts the young Queen Victoria at the age of 18, shortly after her accession to the throne of the United Kingdom. This portrait is particularly significant as it captures the queen in her ceremonial attire, wearing the regal robes of state associated with her new role as monarch.
Alfred-Edward Chalon was known for his skill in portraiture and was a respected member of the Royal Academy. His work was highly regarded during the Victorian era, and he was appointed as the Queen's Painter of Watercolours in Ordinary. The painting of Queen Victoria was commissioned to commemorate her ascension and to serve as an official representation of her image.
The portrait is characterized by its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the luxurious fabrics and the intricate lace of the queen's gown. The queen is portrayed seated on the throne, exuding a sense of youthful dignity and grace, with the symbols of sovereignty, including the scepter and orb, prominently displayed.
"Queen Victoria in Her Robes of State" became one of the most reproduced images of the queen, as it was widely distributed in the form of engravings. It played a key role in shaping the public image of Queen Victoria and contributed to the iconography of the British monarchy during the 19th century. The original painting is part of the Royal Collection, held in trust by the reigning monarch for the nation, and it remains an enduring symbol of Queen Victoria's long and influential reign.
