This portrait shows Queen Victoria-Eugénie of Spain wearing lot 188, the ruby and diamond brooch, alongside the earrings, necklace and tiara that complete the parure.
Queen Victoria-Eugenie of Spain was the daughter of Princess Beatrice of the United Kingdom, youngest child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. She was thought to be the closest to the Queen, staying by her side until her death in 1901. It is interesting to note that Queen Victoria recalls in her journal receiving a ruby and diamond parure from Prince Albert in 1849.
