A 160-year-old Windsor Castle sculpture of Prince Albert is now believed to be by his daughter, Princess Victoria, not Robert William Sievier.
A long-standing sculpture of Prince Albert in Windsor Castle, displayed for over 160 years, has been reattributed to his daughter, Princess Victoria, with help from her tutor Hugo Hagen, overturning the previous belief that it was by sculptor Robert William Sievier.
The bust, created in 1864 as a posthumous tribute, was gifted to Queen Victoria as a Christmas present and has since been on public view in St George’s Hall.
Archival letters confirm Princess Victoria’s personal involvement and her desire for her mother’s approval, which Queen Victoria granted, noting only the nose was slightly too thick.
The discovery is part of the Royal Collection Trust’s first comprehensive catalogue of European sculpture, documenting nearly 2,000 works and marking a major milestone in cataloguing the monarchy’s art holdings.
