Jene als einzige Miniatur lose in einem Lederetui befindliche Miniatur mit dem Bildnis des Antoine dOrléans verweist durch die Angabe des ausführenden Künstlers auf eine große Leidenschaft von Queen Victoria: Sie liebte Miniaturen sehr, besaß eine umfangreiche Sammlung und erfreute regelmäßig ihre über ganz Europa verstreute Verwandtschaft mit Miniaturgeschenken. William Charles Ross wurde 1837 von der Königin zum Hofminiaturmaler ernannt. Marie-Amélie dOrléans teilte diese Leidenschaft. Sie ließ alle Arten von Porträts in Schmuckstücke einsetzen. So ließ sie sich z. B. offenbar von Mellerio, dem angesehensten Pariser Hersteller solches "Memorabilienschmuckes", vier goldene Armbänder fertigen, jedes verziert mit sechs Miniaturporträts ihrer Enkelkinder. Zwischen 1830 und 1845 sollte die damalige Königin der Franzosen bei Mellerio rund 40 solcher "bracelets-portrait" in Auftrag gegeben haben. Ein Schwerpunkt lag bei den "Medaillons à loeil". Auch ihre Tochter Louise, Königin der Belgier, schätzte die Augen-Miniaturen sehr. Diese Art von Erinnerungsschmuck wurde vor allem unter den Prinzessinnen und Fürstinnen des Zeitalters der Romantik ausgetauscht. Galt das Auge doch als "Fenster zur Seele", in Frankreich wiederum als "la voix de lâme", die "Stimme der Seele" bezeichnet. In kleinem Format konnte man der Erinnerung an die liebsten Seelen der Verwandtschaft nachhängen. Und diese war schließlich weit verstreut, man sah sich selten und noch seltener im kleinsten Kreis!

Y SIR WILLIAM CHARLES ROSS, R.A., (1794-1860) THE MARCHIONESS OF BREADALBANE, MARY GAVIN CAMPBELL large miniature portrait, oil and bodycolour on ivory, the subject depicted seated in a red upholstered open armchair, her dark hair arranged loosely in ringlets falling across her decolletage, wearing a brown velvet dress edged in lace and blue satin, and adorned with turquoise and pearl mounted jewellery, in a fitted Moroccan leather case (22.9 x 15.9cm sight size) Note: The stylish and striking sitter for this portrait is Mary Gavin Campbell, wife of John Campbell, the 1st Marquess of Breadalbane, whom she married in 1793. After her marriage she was styled Countess of Breadalbane and Holland, and from 1831, Marchioness of Breadalbane. She died in 1845. The miniature portrait is recorded in the Christie, Manson & Woods 1863 Inventory of Taymouth Castle as hanging in the Tapestry Sitting Room, item 446. William Charles Ross artistic talent was recognised and encouraged from an early age by his parents, both of whom were accomplished portrait painters. Ross' glossy style was influenced by Andrew Robertson, to whom he was apprenticed in 1814. In 1817 he established his own studio in London and quickly made a name for himself with prominent commissions. His growing list of important sitters included the prime minister and the queen’s uncle, and in 1837 Queen Victoria herself commissioned a portrait. She declared it ‘very like and very well painted’ and appointed Ross as Miniature Painter to the Queen, a position providing the opportunity to portray sitters from royal families throughout Europe. Ross was knighted in 1842.
