"NAOMI CAMPBELL SMOKING" ALBERT WATSON // 1998 [gelatin silver print | 55 9/10 × 42 1/10"]

[royalty-nobility]

Conversation Piece at the Royal Lodge, Windsor

Artist: Sir James Gunn (Scottish, 1893-1964)

Date: c. 1950

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: National Portrait Gallery, United Kingdom

Description

The portrait shows King George VI, Queen Elizabeth, Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II), and her sister Princess Margaret. Throughout the Second World War, the Royal Family remained in London, and when Buckingham Palace received a direct hit the queen said, ‘now we can look the East End in the face’. Determination to share in the fate of the nation increased the monarchy’s popularity. In this post-war portrait, the informality of the presentation, for which the Queen was responsible, was entirely new. The setting is Royal Lodge, where the family’s life was informal. They are shown together at tea-time, a recognisable and very British occasion. Gunn, who had been chosen by the King and Queen for the commission, recalled the difficulty of placing the corgi, moving it about on the canvas in a paper cut-out. Commissioned to hang in a public collection, the work’s domestic character demonstrates changes in perceptions of the monarchy.

Agnes Miller Parker (Scottish, 1895-1980) Siamese Cat and Butterfly (Greetings Card) Printed 1939 Color wood engraving on folded card 13 x 10.4 cm (image), folded card 18 x 14 cm (folded out size: 18 x 28 cm) National Galleries of Scotland GMA 3057 "Miller Parker produced numerous commercial prints featuring Siamese cats, including this one. Her cats were often accompanied by other creatures or plants including birds, butterflies and flowers, revealing the animal's natural sense of curiosity. Many of her prints were based on the countless studies she made of her own pets, though few of these drawings survive today."
