EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, Lady Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon (1900-2002) is seen in the prime of her youth, just after she had attained her majority in 1921. At this significant moment in her life, Elizabeth assumed the role of de-facto chatelaine of Glamis Castle, as her mother, the Countess of Strathmore, had fallen seriously ill. The elegant and graceful Lady Elizabeth, who would later become the Queen Mother, is depicted in the portrait wearing a beautiful, flowing hat adorned with a string of pearls and a pearl necklace. The pearls add an air of sophistication and timeless beauty to her appearance, while the hat completes the look of the fashionable 1920s. Elizabeth's pretty features, with her rosy cheeks and expressive eyes, radiate an aura of youthful charm and vitality. Her poised and confident demeanor suggest that she is well-equipped to handle the responsibilities of managing the historic castle and estate. The portrait captures the essence of a young woman coming into her own, at a time when the world was changing rapidly. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, were marked by social and cultural transformations, and Lady Elizabeth's portrait serves as a reminder of the elegance and grace that endured during this period of great change. The portrait is a testament to the beauty and resilience of Lady Elizabeth, who would go on to become one of the most beloved and respected figures in British history. Her time as the chatelaine of Glamis Castle marked the beginning of a remarkable journey that would include marriage to King George VI, and her role as Queen Mother during World War II. This portrait, taken in 1921, offers a glimpse into the life of a young woman on the cusp of greatness.
