A formal portrait by Benjamin West, 'Princes William and Edward' captures the young royals in a composed setting, surrounded by symbols of their status and future roles.
Benjamin West's 1779 oil on canvas depicts the young Princes William and Edward. West, an American-born artist who spent much of his career in England, became known for his history paintings and portraits, achieving the position of historical painter to the court of George III. This portrait captures the princes in a moment of formal repose, surrounded by symbols of their status and future roles. Prince William stands to the left, his hand resting on a globe, while Prince Edward gestures towards a model ship, possibly alluding to naval interests. The composition is carefully arranged, with a classical column and heavy drapery providing a backdrop. The princes are dressed in formal attire, reflecting the conventions of portraiture at the time. The colour palette is restrained, with muted tones and subtle gradations of light and shadow. The painting is a study in the representation of power and lineage, capturing the young princes at a formative stage in their lives.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
Benjamin West
breaking a two-thousand-year convention by painting General Wolfe in modern dress, then training the painters who gave America its visual identity
