A watercolour depicting the unveiling on 9 May 1856 of a full-sized model of the Scutari Monument in 1856. The Scutari Monument is the obelisk on the left, with the equestrian statue of Richard I in front of it. The royal party witness the unveiling.The Scutari Monument and Peace Trophy were commissioned to commemorate the end of the Crimean War (1853-56). The two works, along with the equestrian statue of Richard I seen in this watercolour, were executed by Baron Marochetti. The choice of Marochetti, an Italian, over an English sculptor was viewed largely unfavourably in the contemporary press. Queen Victoria
