Glass plate negative of a full-length portrait of Princess Helena (1846-1923) seated, facing towards the camera. She turns her head three-quarters towards the right. She wears a lace-edged blouse, full skirt and flower garland on her head. She holds a straw hat in her left hand.
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, however a variant from the same sitting is represented by RCIN 2900058.
