A State Portrait is filled with symbols. This is the royal portrait of Elizabeth II which hangs in the Garter Room at Windsor Castle. All the ingredients of a royal portrait are in this fine painting: Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England. Fantastic details on Norman Hartnell’s dress. Note all the symbols of royal power: Order of the Garter, scepter, State Crown, the Coronation Diamonds, and the circlet of George IV. No question, this is a royal portrait; it has all the requirements. The portrait was painted by Sir James Gunn.
