1. Title: "Royal Silhouettes: A Father-Daughter Bond in Georgian England - King George III and Queen Charlotte's Silhouette Portraits by Princess Elizabeth" This evocative silhouette print captures the regal presence of King George III (1738-1820) and his beloved consort, Queen Charlotte (1744-1818), created by their talented daughter, Princess Elizabeth. Dated around 1790, this poignant artwork showcases the unique bond between father and daughter, as well as the enduring popularity of the silhouette art form during the Georgian era. King George III, depicted in profile, is seen wearing the robes of the Order of the Garter, symbolizing his position as Monarch of the United Kingdom. His strong, determined features reflect his leadership and resilience, while his regal bearing conveys the weight of the crown. Beside him, Queen Charlotte, the Dutchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, is portrayed in an elegant profile, adorned with the Order of the Crown of India and the Order of the Star of Mecklenburg. Her delicate features and serene expression convey her grace and beauty, as well as her deep devotion to her husband and their children. The silhouette portraits were created by Princess Elizabeth, who was not only an accomplished artist but also an avid enthusiast of the silhouette art form. The use of intricately detailed Indian ink adds depth and dimension to the profiles, further emphasizing the regal nature of the subjects and the artist's skill. This exquisite silhouette print offers a rare glimpse into the personal lives of the royal family during the Georgian era, as well as the enduring appeal of the silhouette art form as a means of capturing the essence of one's subjects.
