Passing Harland & Wolff's: A Regal Arrival at Donegall Quay (Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert Bringing George V and Queen Mary to the Opening of Northern Ireland Parliament, Kenneth Denton Shoesmith, 1890-1939) This watercolour and bodycolour drawing on board, titled "Passing Harland & Wolff's: A Regal Arrival at Donegall Quay," depicts a significant historical moment in Belfast's maritime and political history. The image, created by the talented artist Kenneth Denton Shoesmith, captures the Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert as it approaches Donegall Quay, carrying King George V and Queen Mary to the grand opening of the Northern Ireland Parliament in 1921. Harland and Wolff, the renowned shipbuilding company, is prominently featured in the background, with its iconic cranes and buildings standing tall against the backdrop of the Belfast Lough. The yacht, adorned with the Union Jack, cuts through the water, leaving a gentle wake as it makes its way to the quay. The king and queen, dressed in their formal attire, can be seen on the deck, waving to the crowds that have gathered to welcome them. The drawing masterfully captures the sense of anticipation and excitement that filled the air during this momentous occasion. The vibrant colours and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to witness this historic event firsthand. Shoesmith's skillful use of watercolour and bodycolour techniques adds depth and texture to the image, making it a true work of art that is sure to captivate and inspire viewers for generations to come.
