About this Item
The print titled "The Royal Princesses: Children of George III" is a steel engraving based on the work of artist J.S. Copley, R.A., and engraved by Graves, A.R.A. The artwork, as stated in the text beneath the illustration, is derived from a picture in the Royal Collection. The image portrays an idyllic and playful scene of young royal children, capturing their charm and innocence. It features three children: two older girls and a younger child seated in a carriage, accompanied by lively spaniels. The two older girls are engaged in an animated moment; one holds a shuttlecock aloft, indicating a game of battledore, while the other interacts warmly with the child in the carriage. The setting includes lush foliage, stone columns, and distant architectural elements, evoking a sense of regal leisure and familial harmony. The engraving is richly detailed, characteristic of the period's intricate steel engraving techniques, and underscores the themes of familial connection, youth, and privilege. J.S. Copley, renowned as an Anglo-American painter, was known for his historical works and portraits that captured both drama and intimacy, making him an apt artist for such a royal subject.
