EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the elegance and poise of The Hon. Mrs George Lloyd, nee Blanche Lascelles, upon her appointment as the new Governor of Bombay in 1918. Daughter of the Hon. Frederick Lascelles, younger brother of Lord Harewood, Mrs. Lloyd was deeply connected to British high society, with her future sister-in-law being none other than Princess Mary, who would marry Viscount Lascelles in 1922. The portrait, painted by renowned artist Percival Anderson, beautifully encapsulates the grace and sophistication of the era. Mrs. Lloyd's refined attire, with its high collar and intricate beading, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the time. Her piercing gaze and confident posture convey a sense of strength and determination, embodying the spirit of a woman taking on a significant role in the British colonial administration. The appointment of Mrs. Lloyd as the Governor of Bombay marked a historical moment in the annals of British colonial rule in India. Her tenure, which began in late 1918, was marked by various challenges and achievements, including the implementation of reforms and the establishment of the Bombay Port Trust. This portrait serves as a visual testament to her remarkable journey and her enduring legacy. The intricate details of the painting, from the delicate folds in Mrs. Lloyd's dress to the subtle textures of her pearls, showcase Anderson's exceptional skill as a portrait artist. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of grandeur, tradition, and change.
