MARCUS ADAMS (1875-1959)

Princess Elizabeth (b. 1926), 5 July 1928

after an original of 1928

RCIN 2943052

This portrait of Princess Elizabeth was one of several taken in July 1928. It was hand-coloured in pastel in 1931 by Christopher Adams, eldest brother to Marcus Adams. Christopher was a professional artist and a member of the Royal Miniature Society. He was a frequent visitor to his brother's studio, and often hand-coloured portraits should a colour image be required.
