From the needlework by Mary Queen of Scots, the etchings of Prince Rupert and the architectural designs of George III to the the sensitive, gently evocative watercolours of the Prince of Wales, hand made lithographs of which hang in the Gallery , the works of royal artists are interwoven with our history . Anna feels that one of the great attractions between Queen Victoria and Prince Albert was their shared love of art and she sees the etchings shown in the Gallery as symbolic of their domestic bliss which characterised an age of certainties so well.

Belgravia Gallery is also the exclusive source for the lithographs of Nelson Mandela which raise funds for Nelson Mandela’s charities in Southern Africa which helps HIV sufferers and homeless and orphaned children. He has become and artist in his eighties and has become somewhat skilled. Anna made a speech when Nelson Mandela launched his most recent work on Robben Island earlier this year, an unforgettable occasion and she and her daughter Laura, the Gallery Manager, have visited him at his home in Johannesburg..
