Bust of Her Royal Highness the Princess Alice, by Mrs. Thornycroft, 1862. Creator: Unknown
Bust of Her Royal Highness the Princess Alice, by Mrs. Thornycroft, 1862. Engraving of a sculpture....this accomplished lady...shares equally with her husband the honour of ranking among our most distinguished sculptors...[She] has attained eminence in an art which, if not more difficult than painting, is certainly one in which her sex has hitherto much more rarely excelled...the Princess Alice displayed so much filial constancy and affectionate attention to her Royal mother on her recent bitter bereavement that she must have endeared herself to all, and her portrait will therefore be especially welcome in every English home. Her face is...a faithful index to her character. It at once guarantees a gentle, unassuming, amiable nature, almost nervously sensitive in its refinement, and with a shade of pensiveness which, when found in so young a face, seems always to convey the assurance of a sincerity and truthfulness not always the characteristics of extreme youth...The hair does not, properly speaking, "ripple, " but has an easy, playful wave; and it is in the bust looped up and knotted behind, leaving one or two pendent curls, very much after the simple, graceful fashion of Greek busts. A wreath of roses appropriately crowns the head'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a bust sculpture of Her Royal Highness Princess Alice, skillfully crafted by the talented hands of Mrs. Thornycroft in 1862. The identity of the creator of this photographic engraving remains unknown. Princess Alice, an accomplished lady in her own right, shares equally with her husband the honor of ranking among our most distinguished sculptors. She has attained eminence in an art which, if not more difficult than painting, is certainly one in which her sex has hitherto much more rarely excelled. The Princess, who displayed so much filial constancy and affectionate attention to her Royal mother during her recent bitter bereavement, has endeared herself to all. Her portrait, therefore, will be especially welcome in every English home. Her face, as captured in this sculpture, is a faithful index to her character. It at once guarantees a gentle, unassuming, amiable nature, almost nervously sensitive in its refinement, and with a shade of pensiveness which, when found in so young a face, seems always to convey the assurance of a sincerity and truthfulness not always the characteristics of extreme youth. The hair, while not technically ripple, possesses an easy, playful wave. It is in the bust, looped up and knotted behind, leaving one or two pendent curls, that we find a simple, graceful fashion reminiscent of Greek busts. A wreath of roses appropriately crowns the head, adding to the ethereal beauty of this remarkable young woman.
