-
Photograph of HM Queen Elizabeth II standing in three-quarters length and facing the viewer. The Queen is set against a background featuring trees and clouds and she is pictured wearing the Admiral's Cloak.
In this portrait Leibovitz reinvents Cecil Beaton’s famous image of The Queen wearing the Boat Cloak. The image of The Queen wrapped in a dark cloak against a stormy background, presents her as an enduring constant in a turbulent world. Although this photograph appears to have been taken outside, the portrait was actually taken inside the Palace along with the others, before being digitally superimposed against a view of the gardens of Buckingham Palace.Provenance
