Queen Victoria (1819–1901), in Her Coronation Robes is a 1838 oil by Charles Robert Leslie, a British Romanticism work, depicting Victoria of the United Kingdom, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a woman in a lavish gold robe, standing in front of a dark, ornate chair. The robe is intricately patterned with flowers and leaves, and it trails behind her on the floor. The woman's hair is pulled back, and she faces to the left, holding a small object in her right hand. The background is dark, with hints of red and gold. The painting's use of rich colors and textures creates a sense of opulence, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's elaborate robes.
