John Watson Gordon ARA (1788-1864) PORTRAIT OF PRINCESS VICTORIA OF KENT three-quarter length portrait, wearing a bonnet with a large plume, a white dress and shawl, holding a note in her right hand and looking right signed indistinctly and inscribed "taken from Life by W. Gorden, June 1838" pencil and watercolour heightened with white, 19.5cm x 15.5cm (7.75" x 6") in carved gilt wood frame Provenance: believed to have been in The Duke of Cambridge Collection, circa 1838 A similar painting appears in Country Life, November 15 1962, p1219 (fig 3). It shows the young Princess Victoria of Kent circa 1836 in a comparable pose, again wearing a bonnet with large plume. Hanging in the Eaton Place drawing room of the Duke of Cambridge’s granddaughter, the painting shows how the young princess, soon to be queen, would have appeared to her cousin, Prince George (son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge), her potential suitor. The match was not to be though; the young prince fell in love and married an actress, disregarding the Royal Marriage Act. The painting remained in the Cambridge family to tell the tale of a match that might have been. The portrait painter Sir John Watson Gordon was born in Edinburgh in 1788, the son of Captain James Watson of the Royal Artillery and a second cousin to Sir Walter Scott on Scott`s mother`s side. He was enrolled in the Trustees` Academy in Edinburgh where he received drawing lessons, and made such rapid progress that he persuaded his family to let him follow an artistic career. He was a founding member of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1826 and from 1827 he also exhibited at the Royal Academy in London, achieving both critical and popular acclaim. He is best known as a portraitist and one of his famous sitters was Sir Walter Scott. Watson Gordon died in Edinburgh on 1 June 1864
