Description

This is a small oil sketch freely reproducing the composition of Winterhalter's 'First of May, 1851' (RCIN 406995), which carries a tentative attribution to Queen Alexandra. This is the sort of study by which amateur painters learn from works in their collections, but nothing is known of the early history of this painting to confirm or contradict this attribution.
