Gallery›Victoria and Albert Museum›Almost full-length portrait of a two children, seated, an older girl on the right of the image close to a younger sibling on the left. Both wear similar costumes, a blue plaid cape over similar plaid skirts, with white pantaloons beneath. The girl on the right has dark hair with curls around the brow, the boy or girl on the left has longer, paler hair, curled into ringlets. The pale blue capes are tied on with broad ribbons about the neck, where the collar of a shirt or blouse is also seen. The girl holds a piece of paper, perhaps a letter. The backdrop is a plain cloth. Hand coloured.

Three quarter length portrait of a clean shaven young man (Egerton Cleeve) seated facing the camera. He wears a dark jacket, open to reveal a white waistcoat and shirt with down-turned collar with a small black cravat or tie, and dark trousers. His left arm rests on a table covered with a pale cloth and a book. His left hand is closed in a fist and rests on his left leg. His legs appear crossed. Part of the oval wood back of the chair is visible, as is part of the padded seat. A grave in the British Cemetery in Montevideo, Uruguay (Plot: F 006) gives Egerton Cleeve's date of birth as August 9, 1827, place: Woolwich, Greater London, England, and his death as April 30, 1857 in Montevideo. An accompanying note to the portrait states that the subject died young in Montevideo of yellow fever, so this may be his grave (see link).
