EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting portrait, Princess May of Teck, later known as the Duchess of York and eventually the Queen Mother, is depicted in a moment of quiet reflection as she sits on a sunlit window seat. The year is circa 1907, and the Princess, dressed in a beautiful Edwardian gown, cradles a picture book in her lap, her hand gently resting on its cover. The delicate fabric of her dress billows softly in the breeze that filters in through the open window, adding an air of grace and elegance to the scene. The Princess's expression is serene and thoughtful, her eyes focused intently on the pages of the book before her. The sunlight streaming in from the window casts a warm, golden glow over her face, highlighting her delicate features and adding a sense of warmth and intimacy to the image. The window seat itself is adorned with plush cushions and a floral patterned throw, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The room beyond the window is filled with dappled sunlight and the soft colors of the Princess's belongings, adding to the sense of tranquility and calm. This delightful portrait offers a glimpse into the private world of Princess May of Teck, a moment of respite and relaxation in the midst of her busy royal duties. The image captures the essence of a young woman lost in the pages of a book, transported to another world, and invites the viewer to share in her moment of quiet contemplation.
