books0977: Clementina reading while sitting at the window wearing some kind of fancy dress or theatrical costume around which a piece of white material has been draped in a way which echoes the shape of Isabella’s dress (from another photograph), ca. 1862-63. Lady Clementina Hawarden. Hawarden’s characteristic portraits include her daughters Isabella Grace, Clementina, and Florence Elizabeth.
