Nice late 19th century frame in pitchpin
This watercolor was done for the Diamond Jubilee in 1897 of Queen Victoria, crowned on June 20, 1837 Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. She was also Queen of Canada from 1867 and Empress of India from 1876.
This watercolor shows two portraits of the Queen, one in 1837 and the other in 1897, as well as a diamond reminiscent of the famous Indian diamond, the Koh-i-Nor, which was presented to Queen Victoria in 1850 for the 250th anniversary of the British East India Company and cut and mounted on a tiara with two thousand other diamonds in 1852.
Also recognizable in this watercolor is the insignia of the Order of the Star of India with its motto "Heaven's Light Our Guide" - this insignia was the basis for the flag of the Indian Empire - and the coat of arms of the British Crown.
