After the artist had made some alterations to the head, giving it more hair and a longer beard, Prince Albert was apparently very pleased with this painting. It was exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy in 1855, and placed in the Queen’s Bedroom at Osborne. Inscribed on the back with the subject, the artist’s name and the date, 1847.
