This lively drawing may depict the fabled British monarch, who sat for Grant in both 1845 (Queen Victoria on Horseback - Royal Collection) and 1850 (Queen Victoria reviewing her troops (Army and Navy Club, London)).
In 1866 Grant was appointed President of the Royal Academy and was knighted that same year.
