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, of which Whidborne had once been a member.[2]
Whidborne was born at High Wycombe and educated at Stowe School where he was a contemporary of George Melly. He served as a lieutenant in the Irish Guards and saw service in Mandatory Palestine.[3] In 1949 he became a pupil of Pietro Annigoni.[4] He exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1954[5] and in 1966 The Connoisseur described him as at "the forefront of mural decorators in England".[6]
In 1983, Whidborne was one of the artists chosen to prepare alternative designs to the long-running Machin series of British definitive postage stamps.[7] After consideration, the design was not changed and it was subsequently decided to continue with the current design for the lifetime of the Queen.
