Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of the Duchess of Kent seated in an armchair. She faces three-quarters to the right and gazes ahead, away from the camera. Photograph taken in Buckingham Palace.
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 2513458.
