This object is part of Schaaf no. 943

Group portrait in front of a backdrop

The group consists of three men, two women and a girl.

The lady standing towards the back of the composition is Horatia Feilding, Talbot's sister.

The tall, slim, hatless, bespectacled gentleman standing on the far right is possibly the Egyptologist and linguist, Professor Karl Richard Lepsius (1810-1884) [see Schaaf numbers 1302 and 4234].
