EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the radiant beauty and elegance of Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon on the day of her marriage to Prince Albert, Duke of York, at Westminster Abbey on 26 April, 1923. Painted specially for The Sketch by renowned British artist John St. Helier Lander, the portrait perfectly encapsulates the grace and poise of the Scottish bride as she embarks on her new life as a member of the British Royal Family. Born on 4 August, 1900, at Bowes-Lyon Castle in Perthshire, Scotland, Elizabeth was the eldest daughter of the 14th Earl and Countess of Strathmore and Kinghorne. Her marriage to the Duke of York, who later became King George VI, marked the beginning of a remarkable chapter in her life. Elizabeth would go on to become not only the Duchess of York but also the Queen Consort of King George VI and, later, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. The portrait showcases Elizabeth's timeless beauty and the exquisite detail of Lander's brushstrokes. Her ivory-colored gown, adorned with intricate embroidery and a long train, is a fitting representation of the grandeur and tradition of a royal wedding. The delicate veil and the elegant diamond tiara complete the regal look of the young bride. This portrait is a testament to the enduring legacy of the British monarchy and the timeless beauty of a royal wedding. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the elegant and grandiose world of the 1920s and the beginning of Elizabeth's journey as a member of the Royal Family.
