EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting portrait, the young Princess Royal, Victoria (later known as Empress Frederick or Victoria, Princess Royal of Prussia), sits regally before an ornate gold and red velvet draped easel in the grand interiors of Buckingham Palace. The Princess, who was born on November 21, 1840, is just two years old at the time of this photograph. Her bright, curious eyes gaze intently at an unseen point beyond the camera lens, while her tiny hands rest delicately on her lap. The soft folds of her white dress and the intricate details of her headdress add to the ethereal beauty of the image. The portrait was taken in 1841, a time when the young Princess was still living in the shadow of her mother, Queen Victoria. However, her future was already being shaped by the political alliances and marriages that would define her life. In 1858, she would marry Crown Prince Frederick William of Prussia, becoming Empress Frederick or Kaiserin Friedrich, the consort of the German Emperor. The portrait's setting, with its ornate chandelier and richly decorated walls, adds to the sense of grandeur and opulence. The artist, unknown to us, skillfully captures the young Princess's spirit and the promise of her future role as a British and German royal. The portrait is a testament to the rich history and tradition of royal portraiture, and a reminder of the young Victoria's remarkable journey from a two-year-old girl in Buckingham Palace to the Empress of Prussia.
