Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Prince Leopold standing, facing three-quarters to the right. He looks ahead, away from the camera. He places his left hand on his chest and leans his right arm on a balustrade behind him. He wears Highland dress.
The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. A print from this negative exists in the Collection, RCIN 2900488.
