HRH Prince Phillip, The Duke of Edinburgh

Painting - HRH Prince Phillip, The Duke of Edinburgh, Colonel in Chief, The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada and the Queen's Own Highlanders (Seaforth and Camerons). He is wearing the full dress uniform of the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders. The original was commissioned for the Officer's Mess at Sandhurst. It is a copy of the painting by Leonard Boden. The surrounding red is velvet. Framed by Edmonds Regalia House, New Westminster, BC. Leonard Monro Boden (31 May 1911 – 15 November 1999) was a British portrait painter. Boden painted 19 portraits of members of the British Royal family, including ten of Queen Elizabeth II and five of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Before painting in oil on canvas, Boden sketched his sitters in sanguine (red chalk). The subjects of his portraits often asked to buy his lifelike sketches. Boden asked for six to eight sittings of an hour and a half each for his royal portraits. His first picture of the Queen hangs alongside a portrait of Prince Philip at the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst. Four of his portraits of the Queen were painted for government institutions in Canada. The Queen often recommended Boden if asked whether she would prefer any particular artist’s depictions of her. Boden’s daughter, Daphne, sometimes played the harp for the Queen while her father painted.
