Description
After John Singleton Copley, RA,
American 1738-1815-
The Three Youngest Daughters of George III and Queen Charlotte;
oil on canvas board, 91 x 61 cm., (unframed).
Provenance:
Private Collection, UK.
Note:
The present work is a copy after Copley's painting in the Royal Collection at Buckingham Palace [RCIN 401405]. The scene effectively captures the liveliness and energy of the three youngest daughters of George III (1738-1820) and Queen Charlotte (1744-1818), a feature which was criticised by contemporaries, who found the playfulness of the scene unsuitable for a royal portrait. The subjects are the 9-year-old Princess Mary (1776-1857) on the left, striking a tambourine to amuse her 2-year-old sister, Princess Amelia (1783-1810) who is seated in the carriage, and beyond the 8-year-old Princess Sophia (1777-1848).
