Photograph of Queen Louise of Denmark sitting at a table with her back turned, face in profile, taken in a sitting room at Amaliensborg Palace. The table and nearby smaller tables are covered with many photographs and small desk objects. There is a large portrait of King George I of the Hellenes hanging below a lanscape oval painting on the door frame.
Mary Steen specialised in photographs taken in people's houses with electric lighting, a novelty when most houses including the royal palace were not electrified until the 20th century -
