The Countess of Wessex attended an event of sight loss charity the Vision Foundation, that was organized to unveil a new sculpture of her. In September 2020, the Countess became the first member of the British royal family to sit for a live sculpting session with famous sculptor, Frances Segelman. The sculpting session took place in front of a live virtual audience for the purpose of promoting the work of the charity.
At the event, the Countess supported Vision Foundation Appeal Manager, Monica Smith, who is visually impaired, to explore the sculpture with her hands, enabling her to experience the Countess' features for the first time.The Countess has been patron of The Vision Foundation since 2003. The Countess wore a new green polka dot dress from Alice Early.
One of the most interesting royal events. Ever.
ReplyDeleteBrava, Sophie, brava! Love learning about her projects related to vision research and organizations. Personable and stylish, Sophie is one of my fave royals, for sure.
And just when I thought this engagement couldn’t get any better... I love all shades and hues of green, including this lovely saturated tone which hints at the arrival of autumn.

Just beautiful. That shade of green is gorgeous, and plays up her hair and complexion. Wonderful engagement.

Même si ce n’est pas à 100 pour % ressemblant ce buste est magnifique . Surtout le voir avec des yeux vivants et non pas vides comme sur la plupart des statues .
ReplyDeleteOn la reconnaît bien sur la statue, mais à côté de l'original, cela ne vaut pas chipette.
ReplyDeleteBelle robe verte qui va merveilleusement bien avec la couleur des ses cheveux et son teint clair et yeux bleus. Ce qui ne gâche rien, elle est toujours souriante, sympathique.

Mignonne petite robe à pois qui sont très tendance ; le fond de couleur verte va à merveille avec sa blondeur ; j'espère qu'elle ne la porte pas avec des chaussures plates comme le mannequin !
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit. Great charity for her to support. I believe she is involved with a number of charities concerned with sight problems. Don’t think the sculpture does her justice.
ReplyDeleteyes lovely outfit
ReplyDeleteThe sculpture, though a good attempt, just does not quite make the grade. Sophie's outfit; color nice, style, too simplistic. jj
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. I think she is such an important senior royal and is most helpful to HM. How nice that they chose to make a likeness of her.
ReplyDeleteI want to add that it's a rather beautiful sculpture. Very nicely done!
