EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature portrait of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, later known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, was a cherished wedding gift presented to her future fiancé, Prince Albert, Duke of York, by his mother-in-law, Lady Strathmore, in 1923. The intricately detailed miniature, painted by Mabel Hankey, wife of renowned British painter William Lee Hankey, captures the youthful beauty and grace of the future queen. The miniature is housed in a finely wrought frame of gold and silver, crafted by the esteemed Oxford Street jewellers, Messrs Catchpole and Williams. The frame, adorned with sapphires and surmounted with a jewelled crown, adds an air of regality and grandeur to the portrait. The presentation of this precious gift marked an important milestone in the life of the future royal couple, as they prepared for their upcoming marriage.
