Prince Albert (1819-1861) c. 1859-60
Watercolour on card | 3.2 x 2.5 cm (support, canvas/panel/stretcher external) | RCIN 422460

A work of high quality that cannot be related to any existing portraits, this miniature shows Prince Albert dressed in Windsor uniform with the badge of the Order of the Golden Fleece. Prince Albert's appearance suggests a date of c.1859 – 60 and the miniature may perhaps relate to a payment of 10 guineas to Guglielmo Faija for a '[Miniature of the] Prince Consort' in June 1860 (RA PP/VIC/2/43/661), although it was unusual for Faija to paint on card rather than ivory.
