Jubilee Portrait of Queen Victoria, not sure, 1887 commission: "the Chinese community of Singapore" location: on the grounds of the Istana « go previous go to next » go back to list

I remember seeing this in the Singapore National Museum about ten years ago, but I'm not sure where the stature is now. No data on the sculptor.

text of the label affixed to the work:

This statue of Queen Victoria was commissioned by the Chinese Community of Singapore in the year of Her Majesty's Jubilee to be placed in the Government House as a Memorial of the general affection of Her Majesty's Chinese Subjects and of their gratitude for the benefits of her rule.
