Elizabeth Bowes Lyon, also known as the Queen Mother, was a beloved figure in British history. Her regal presence and unwavering support for her husband, King George VI, made her an iconic queen consort. In 1937, she held the Kings Orb and Sceptre with grace and elegance, showcasing her royal duties. The artist Sterling Henry Nahum Baron captured her radiant smile while surrounded by her pages in 1953. As a symbol of national pride during King George V's Silver Jubilee in 1935, Elizabeth Bowes Lyon played a significant role alongside her husband. Together they were crowned in Westminster Abbey in 1937, marking their official reign as king and queen consort. Before ascending to the throne, Elizabeth was known as Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. Renowned artist John Singer Sargent beautifully portrayed both herself and the Duke of York (later King George VI) in stunning studies from 1923.
