Charlotte Sophia of Mecklenburg-Strelitz

Artist: Workshop of Allan Ramsay  (1713–1784)

Genre: Portrait

Date: Between 1761 and 1762

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: National Portrait Gallery, London, England

Queen Charlotte; Princess Sophia Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, 1744 - 1818. Queen of George III

Charlotte married George, Prince of Wales, in September 1761. A fortnight later they were crowned at Westminster Abbey and their coronation portraits commissioned from Ramsay, who had recently succeeded John Shackleton as Principle Painter in Ordinary. Charlotte is seen in a similar setting to her husband, with classical columns and rich drapery. In coronation robes of gold and ermine to match George, she gestures towards the crown. This version is by Ramsay’s studio – the replication of state portraits for heads of state, colonial governors, ambassadors etc, was a common occurrence during this time. There are subtle differences between the copies. Ramsay’s earliest version shows Charlotte wearing a pearl necklace, whereas later portraits, such as this, feature a gem encrusted necklace.

My emails only take two forms:

Corporate approved, "you sound like a bot".

17th century British nobleman.

The latter is my natural form, the first is the result of meticulously rewriting to sound more, "natural" and "less try hard".

Writing real world AUs for SW is the biggest exercise in suspending ur disbelief because of those NAMES.

Obi-Wan? Yeah that's just Ben now regardless of what stage of life he's in. Dooku? Sorry you must mean signore Serenno. Legend has it he's some sort of Italian. Qui-Gon Jinn? Um. Uhhh. He was born to hippie parents in the 70s that's why. Yeah I know that's kinda fucked up. Don't ask about Ben's last name btw

Victoria Duchess of Kent 

Artist: George Hayter (British, 1792–1871)

Title: Victoria, Duchess of Kent (1786-1861)

Genre: Portrait

Date: 1835

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Royal Collection Trust

Description

Victoria, Duchess of Kent, was Princess Victoria's mother. She is depicted wearing a formal day dress with a shawl and feathered hat, and with a spaniel, possibly Dash, running beside her. Sittings took place in the early months of 1834, and the painting was presented to the Princess 'though not quite ready' on her fifteenth birthday. On 23 April 1836 she wrote in her Journal 'My full-length portrait of Mamma done by George Hayter has been hung up in my study and looks so well. It is so like & is so beautifully painted.'

The artist made a number of changes (pentimenti) such as the outline of the feather in the hat, which was originally larger, and the outline of the left shoulder and the shawl over the left arm, which originally projected further.
