Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Princess Beatrice seated in an armchair, facing a quarter to the right. She turns her head towards the camera and gazes to the left. She places her left hand in her lap and her right arm on the arm rest. She crosses her feet.
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 2900286.
