Timothy Whidborne
Timothy Charles Plunket Whidborne (1927–2021)[1] was a British artist notable for his 1969 portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on horseback as Colonel-in-Chief of the Irish Guards, a regiment in which Whidborne had once been a member.[2]
Born in High Wycombe, Whidborne was educated at Stowe School, where he was a contemporary of George Melly. He served as a lieutenant in the Irish Guards and saw action in Mandatory Palestine.[3] In 1949, he became a pupil of Pietro Annigoni.[4] Whidborne exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1954,[5] and in 1966, The Connoisseur recognized him as a leading mural decorator in England.
In 1983, he was among the artists selected to design alternative stamps for the British definitive series,[6] but his design was not adopted, and the Machin series remained in use for the Queen's lifetime.
