About the piece

Created around 1850 by George Hayter, this expressive oil study captures Queen Victoria in the solemn moment of taking her coronation oath. The young monarch is depicted in her golden dalmatic, with the Imperial State Crown and scepter resting nearby. The loose, confident brushwork and the dramatic red drapery create a sense of historical gravitas and old-world elegance.
