Description
This sculpture was made soon after the marriage of Queen Victoria (1819-1901) and Prince Albert (1819-1861). Later, in 1857, the Queen bestowed the title of Prince Consort on her husband. Here he wears the chain of the Order of the Garter. The bust was rejected by the Queen because she felt it made its subject look too old.
