Paired with a miniature of Prince Albert Victor of Wales (420282; Royal Collection), this miniature of Prince George of Wales, later George V, is a copy by Guglielmo Faija after a miniature by Reginald Easton (1807-92) painted in 1868. Easton's miniature remains in the Royal Collection (13965) and comparison between the two demonstrates Faija's accomplishment as a skilled copyist in miniature.
