Grant Silk Woven Portrait - go299: HRH The Princess of Wales

There is no back label and no printed weavers name of the front. It might hence not be of GRANT manufacture although the picture has all the characteristics of their manufacture.

The composition of this portrait is very unusual, and not at all complimentary of the Princess. It is not known which Princess is referred to in the title, although it should be noted that as there is recorded an unusual Grant portrait of the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII), and there would normally have been a corresponding portrait of the Princess, it is probable the image above relates to Princess Alexandra.
