A finely modelled Parian bust of Queen Victoria, depicting the monarch in her later years with a dignified and restrained presence characteristic of late Victorian royal portraiture. The Queen is shown wearing formal court dress with a lace-trimmed bodice, draped shawl, and her iconic widow’s veil, reflecting the sober elegance associated with her later reign.
The modelling is delicate and assured, capturing a calm, resolute expression and carefully observed facial features. The reverse is inscribed “VICTORIA”, and the bust is mounted on an integral moulded socle base with classical fluting, providing both stability and architectural balance.
Executed in Parian ware—a material prized in the 19th century for its marble-like appearance—this bust would have been intended as a decorative yet reverential tribute, suitable for a library, study, or period interior.
