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 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

Drawing of the Queen on horseback

The Queen on Horseback at Windsor, drawing by Comte Xavier de Poret. After seeing some of the Comte de Poret's work, the Queen commissioned him to portray herself and the Royal children on horseback. Her Majesty posed in Windsor Great Park on her mare, Betsy, Prince Charles on his pony Greensleeves and Princess Anne on her pony William. To complete this work the artist stayed at Windsor for two weeks. The Comte de Poret, who was born in 1894, began drawing as a child. He came to specialise in pictures of birds and animals and continued to draw in spare moments, even during the 1914 - 1918 war in which he served in the French Dragoons and in the Cuirassiers a Pied. He is particularly fond of horses and is himself a keen huntsman. The Queen is seen bare headed, in riding habit and boots, on her horse Betsy which was a present from the Portuguese people to commemorate her visit to their country in 1957. Whilst the Queen herself gave the artist several sittings, a girl groom from the royal mews stood in for her to enable the Comte de Poret to complete the details
