Glass plate negative of an unidentified painting possibly depicting Feodora, Princess of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (1807-1872), half-sister to Queen Victoria. The sitter is standing in a heavily decorated interior space facing three-quarters to the right and gazing ahead. She wears an off-the-shoulder ball dress trimmed with lace and holds a fan in both hands. A badge of a family Order is pinned on her dress's sleeve.
The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. Prints from this negative do not seem to exist in the Collection.
