Among the Queen's talents was a gift for art. Victoria filled her notebooks with sketches and watercolors:
From her subtle yet rich watercolors to her seemingly austere but remarkably expressive black-and-white ink sketches (with a style reminiscent of Wendy MacNaughton’s), the drawings complement her observations of daily life and capture everything from members of the Royal Family to foreign military uniforms to the people and places the Queen encountered during her travels, and even her faithful dog.Pictured above is Victoria's watercolor of her beloved Prince Albert.
