Photograph of Queen Victoria and two of her daughters taken at Balmoral Castle. From left to right: Princess Louise (1848-1939), later the Duchess of Argyll seated on the floor, facing three-quarters to the right and holding her mother's hand. Queen Victoria (1819-1901) is seated with her head in left side profile and Princess Alice (1843-78), who became Grand Duchess of Hesse and by Rhine, who stands and faces three quarters left. Behind them and supported on an easel is a head and shoulders length painting of the Prince Consort by George Koberwein (RCIN 403063) made in 1862. This painting is based on Winterhalter’s earlier portrait of Prince Albert (RCIN 405130) painted in 1859. In the painting the Prince is shown wearing a coat with the star of the Thistle and a shoulder plaid of Stewart tartan.
