This is the portrait of Prince George,
Duke of Kent, the borther
of the Duke of York whom Laszlo painted in 1931, and the pendant
portrait of his wife, the
Duchess of Kent (nee Princess Marina of Greece).
The pictures of the
Duke and Duchess of Kent were published
as a special supplement to the Illustrated
London News Royal Wedding Number commemorating their marriage
in 1934. In the same issue was
a reproduced sketch portrait of Princess Marina
that de Laszlo completed prior to the full-scale portrait.
