EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "Second Study for King, Queen, Prince of Wales, Princess Mary" by Sir John Lavery, dates back to 1913. The artwork is a stunning representation of the British royal family, featuring King George V, Queen Mary, Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII), and Princess Mary of Teck, all seated in the grandeur of Buckingham Palace. Sir John Lavery, an Irish painter, was known for his exquisite portraits and landscapes. His mastery of light and color is evident in this second study, which showcases the royal family in a warm and inviting setting. The painting's rich colors and intricate details bring the subjects to life, capturing the essence of their regal presence. The King, dressed in a formal suit and adorned with the Star of India and the Order of the Garter, sits proudly on a plush chair, his gaze fixed on an unseen horizon. Queen Mary, wearing a beautiful gown and the Order of the Star of India, sits to his right, her hands delicately folded in her lap. Prince of Wales, wearing the uniform of the Royal Navy, sits to the left of the King, his posture confident and poised. Princess Mary, dressed in a simple yet elegant gown, sits on the floor at the feet of her parents, her expression thoughtful and introspective. The painting's title suggests that this is a preliminary study for a larger or final version of the portrait. Despite this, the work stands on its own as a beautiful and intriguing glimpse into the lives of the British royal family during a pivotal moment in history.
