New portrait of Queen Victoria’s African goddaughter goes on display at Osborne
A new painting of Sarah Forbes Bonetta, the daughter of an African ruler who became Queen Victoria’s goddaughter, has been unveiled at Osborne, the Queen’s seaside home on the Isle of Wight. English Heritage announced today (7 October 2020) that it will also be commissioning portraits of other historical black figures associated with the charity’s sites and whose stories like Bonetta’s, have been previously overlooked. The painting of Bonetta by artist Hannah Uzor is on display at Osborne throughout October – Black History Month – and will then return on display next spring as part of English Heritage’s wider series of portraits across several sites.
