A bust-length photographic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II looking to the front, smiling. She wears a blue bouclé jacket, Queen Victoria's diamond and pearl brooch and a three-strand pearl necklace. Taken in the Ballroom, Buckingham Palace.
Rankin was chosen as one of ten photographers to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee. Capturing the sitter on film, he produced two portraits (see also RCIN 2119555). The version here was accepted as one of the official portraits. Its close range and dramatic angle is characteristic of Rankin’s work.Provenance
