Notes

QC portrait 88.

Judging by the patterns on the shoulders and cuffs, QC 88 shares a common ancestry with Royal Collection RCIN 404744, but they each differ from Royal Collection RCIN 406785 in ways that the other does not, so it is unlikely that one is a copy of the other. In the necklace brooch, QC 88 has inverted jewel colours, and the centre-piece is set diamond-fashion. It has a full-size chest brooch, and a full set of rings.
