Painting of Queen Elizabeth by Anthony Devas

This painting which is certain to provoke discussion throughout the world will occupy a place of honour at the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition which opens at Burlington House, London, on 3 May 1958. It is an almost revolutionary departure from all previous representations of the Queen; it turns away from fairy tale romanticism and presents to the viewer a Queen of impressive majesty. It shows her mature and self confident, no longer merely a beautiful young woman but now in every sense a sovereign and head of a great nation and Commonwealth. The features are characteristically Windsor, much like the Princess Royal, the Queen's aunt; her bearing vividly calls to mind the Royal dignity of the late Queen Mary, her grandmother. The Queen, in an iridescent sheath dress (she first wore it during a state visit to the United States in 1957) wears the blue sash of the Order of the Garter, a delicate tiara and, in a manner that might revive a fashion, she holds in her right hand a fan. The Queen sat for the painter at Buckingham Palace, posing on the one occasion for one and a half hours. The position her Majesty chosen was near a window overlooking the Mall; the passing scene, one of the pleasantest settings in London, never failed to hold her interest and cause lively comment. The painting was commissioned by the Honourable Artillery Company of which her Majesty is Captain General. The painter, Anthony Devas, ARA, RP, who is [?] 47, has been prominent among English portraitists for many years. Painting by Anthony Devas, please acknowledge

Painting of Queen Elizabeth by Edward Halliday

A new and striking portrait of the Queen portrays her with an air of calm and firm authority. Her Majesty is wearing an evening gown (the colour is leaf green) and with it a pearl and diamond necklace; the principal feature of the necklace is a miniature replica of the Crown. The portrait, which is 48 inches x 35 inches in size, is destined for the Public Art Gallery at Dunedin, New Zealand, and was commissioned to commemorate the Queen's visit to the Gallery during the Royal Commonwealth Tour, 1953 - 1954. The painting is the work of Edward Halliday, 54 year old President of the Royal Society of British Artists, who has probably painted the Queen more often than any other contemporary portraitist. The portrait is on show at the RBA Galleries, Suffolk Street, London, SW1

Painting of Queen Elizabeth by Edward Halliday

This portrait of her Majesty was painted by Edward Halliday as a companion piece to his portrait of His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh. Both portraits were commissioned by the officers of the Royal Air Force station at Henlow, Bedfordshire; they are to be unveiled at a guest night, attended by the artist, at the Officer's Mess on 22 January 1959, by Air Chief Marshal Sir Walter L Dawson, Air Member of Supply and Organisation. The Queen is depicted wearing the robes of the Order of the Garter over an ivory slipper satin gown encrusted with floral decorations. Around her neck is worn the Garter Collar which is of gold and consists of 24 pieces showing the Garter surrounding a Tudor Rose. Twenty four knots of chased gold join the pieces together; affixed to the lowest point is a pendant known as The George, which is an enamelled figure depicting St George and the dragon. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh will fly to Canada on the 18 June for a six week visit, during which time her Majesty will open the St Lawrence Seaway. Mr Halliday has previously portrayed the Queen a number of times; he has been president of the Royal Society of Portrait Artists since 1956

Painting of the Queen by Terence Cuneo

The Queen with some of her dogs in a new portrait by Terence Cuneo, commissioned by the Kennel Club, of which she is Patron. The dogs include two Labrador retrievers, Sandringham Harvey and Champion Sherry of Biteabout, one of the Queen's favourite corgis, Windsor Brush, and, centre of the group, a cross-breed called Tinker, offspring of a dachshund sire and a Pembrokeshire Welsh corgi and known in the Royal family as a "Windsor Dorgi". The Queen is shown sitting on a fallen tree by a lake at Frogmore Park and, says the Kennel Club, the informality of the picture is in sharp contrast with the traditional style and setting of Royal Portraits
