A posse of Queens
PLATINUM JUBILEE celebrations have acquired a new highlight, with Sotheby’s staging an exhibition of royal portraits (), on loan from country-house collections. ‘It is truly exciting to be able to unite these historic portraits,’ says Julian Gascoigne, Sotheby’s senior director in Old Masters, who calls the ‘Armada’ painting ‘one of the most seminal images of female power ever created. We look forward to seeing the dialogue this grouping will spark’.
