This reproduction portrait of a young Edward VII, then Prince of Wales, was commissioned by Vintage Hotels and painted by a street artist in Paris, France. The original portrait was painted by Franz Xaver Winterhalter in 1864.
As described by the Royal Trust Collection, ‘Prince Albert Edward was Queen Victoria’s eldest son. In this portrait he is dressed in the uniform of Colonel of the 10th Hussars and holds his shako which, from 1800 onwards, became a common military head-dress in most armies. He wears the ribbon and star of the Garter, the badge of the Golden Fleece, and the Star of India.’
The original portrait was commissioned by Queen Victoria; recorded in the Crimson Drawing Room at Windsor Castle.
