The International Exhibition: marble bust of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales... 1862. Creator: Robert Paterson
The International Exhibition: marble bust of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales by J. Steell, R.S.A. 1862. It is stated that the late Prince Consort commended this bust highly, and said that the Queen was greatly delighted with the manner in which Mr. John Steell, the excellent Scotch sculptor, had caught the expression of the young Prince, and that for it Mr. Steell received the unsolicited appointment of "Sculptor to her Majesty for Scotland."...The bust is, indeed, not only interesting as the only one for which his Royal Highness has given sittings, and therefore the only authentic portrait in marble, but it has a great deal of intrinsic merit...the likeness is also undoubtedly faithful both to character and expression. The face of his Royal Highness in this bust is rapidly developing itself into that fixed, manly individuality that we trust long life (which he enters upon with so many happy auspices) will preserve to us many years. Notwithstanding, however, that the forms are fuller and of course more masculine in character, there is still a delicacy about much of the detailed modelling of the features which strongly recall the earlier portraits of her Majesty'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking marble bust of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, captured by the skilled hand of Scottish sculptor John Steell, was unveiled at The International Exhibition in 1862. The late Prince Consort reportedly commended the bust highly, and Queen Victoria was said to be greatly pleased with Steell's ability to convey the young Prince's expression. This bust holds significant historical value as it is the only authentic portrait in marble of the Prince, as he only sat for it once. The likeness is not only intriguing due to its rarity but also for its undeniable faithfulness to character and expression. The Prince's face in this bust showcases the rapid development of his manly individuality, a trait that was hoped to be preserved throughout his long life, which he was entering with many happy auspices. Despite the fuller, more masculine forms, there is still a delicate quality to the detailed modelling of the features, which evokes the earlier portraits of Queen Victoria. This bust is not only an important historical artifact but also a testament to Steell's exceptional talent as a sculptor.
