About the piece
Painted in 1913, this masterful study by Sir John Lavery captures King George V, Queen Mary, the Prince of Wales, and Princess Mary in a moment of quiet dignity. The work is characterized by Lavery's signature fluid brushwork and a sophisticated use of chiaroscuro, highlighting the royal figures against the deep, golden tones of the palace interior.
