As Isabella approaches adulthood, a leading art auction house has told GB News that she will likely be included in comparisons between the British and Danish female figures.
Art Appraiser James Thomas from Marten Stanmore Auctions, said: “The portrait of Princess Isabella is not only a captivating image of royal heritage but also serves as an excellent example of the importance of capturing both legacy and modernity in art.
“The way Princess Isabella mirrors the regal elegance of Queen Mary is a testament to the power of portraiture in conveying continuity and tradition within royal families.
“Mary is notable, especially in her graceful posture and refined expression, capturing the strength and elegance seen in Queen Mary’s portraits.”
