LifeThe Hon. Julia Janet Georginana Haldane-Duncan was born on 24 January 1840 in Naples. Her father was Adam Haldane-Duncan, Viscount Duncan, subsequently Earl of Camperdown, and her mother was Juliana Cavendish Philips, daughter of Sir George Richard Philips, Bt.[1] On 6 October 1858, she married George, 4th Baron Abercromby.[1] Lady Abercromby was a Lady of the Bedchamber to Queen Victoria from April 1874 until March 1885. For her service to the Queen she was awarded The Royal Order of Victoria and Albert, Third Class. Whilst she was a lady-in-waiting she had the honour of painting the first official portrait of the Queen for the National Portrait Gallery. The gallery had requested paintings in 1867 of the Queen and her consort, Prince Albert. A portrait of Albert was sent almost immediately but it was not until 1883 that Abercromby's portrait of the Queen was sent. The picture was created in watercolour and was actually based on an original work by Heinrich von Angeli. The Queen's preference for this portrait is said to be because it does not emphasise the Queen's regalia but the woman behind the power.[2] She exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1898. Her portrait on Benjamin Jowett was thought to very close to life and the letters from Jowett indicate a close friendship, although Jowett was a friend of her brother Robert Haldane-Duncan, 3rd Earl of Camperdown.[3] Lady Abercromby died on 8 December 1915 leaving a widower but no children.[1] LegacyAbercromby has paintings in British national collections including the National Portrait Gallery,[4] Balliol College, Oxford and the Britannia Royal Naval College.[5] References{{commons category|Julia Janet Georgiana Abercromby}}1. ^Lady Julia Janet Georgiana Haldane-Duncan, Peerage.com, accessed January 2013 {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Abercromby, Julia Janet Georgiana}}2. ^{{cite book|last=Perry|first=Lara|title=History's Beauties: Women in the National Portrait Gallery, 1856-1900|year=2006|publisher=Ashgate|pages=199|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DgSRnyNmcFYC&dq=Julia+Abercromby&source=gbs_navlinks_s}} 3. ^Julia Abercromby, Balliol Archives, accessed 24 January 2013 4. ^1 2 National Portrait Gallery: Lady Julia Abercromby 5. ^{{Art UK bio|name=Julia Janet Georgiana Abercromby}} 5 : 1840 births|1915 deaths|Ladies of the Bedchamber|People from Naples|British women artists |
