EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures King George VI (1895-1952) in his coronation robes, painted by Albert Collings in 1937. The monarch, who ascended to the throne following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, is depicted wearing the traditional regalia of the British monarchy. The intricately designed mantle and ermine cloak, adorned with jewels and gold embroidery, symbolize the sovereign's power and authority. Originally painted for the coronation of King Edward VIII, Collings made an adjustment to the portrait after Edward's abdication, replacing his brother's face with that of King George VI. The artist was compensated an additional 21 for this alteration. The original version of the portrait, featuring King Edward VIII, can be found in picture number 10224207. King George VI's coronation took place on May 12, 1937, at Westminster Abbey, marking the beginning of his reign. This portrait, with its rich details and regal presence, serves as a testament to the historical significance of the event and the enduring symbolism of the British monarchy's regalia.
