EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures a young and smiling Duke of York, who would later become King George VI of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Commonwealth. Painted by renowned Hungarian-British artist Philip de László in 1931, the portrait beautifully portrays Albert Frederick Arthur George in formal attire, with a confident and approachable expression. At the time of this painting, George VI was not yet king, but he was the heir apparent to the throne, which he would assume following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, in 1936. King George VI is an intriguing figure in British history, as he was the last Emperor of India and the first Head of the Commonwealth. His reign, which lasted until his death in 1952, was marked by significant challenges, including World War II and the aftermath of the war. This portrait, however, offers a glimpse into a happier time, before the weight of the crown rested upon his shoulders. Philip de László was a highly respected painter of portraits, known for his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. His signature, visible in the lower right corner of the painting, adds to its authenticity and historical significance. This portrait is a testament to the artist's skill and the charisma of the Duke of York, who would go on to become a beloved and respected monarch.
