MUDLARK

Original 9 3/4 inch by 7 5/8 inch Portrait of IRENE DUNNE as Queen Victoria in the 1950 Jean Negulesco Movie THE MUDLARK, based on the novel by Theodore Bonnet

In 1875 London, young Wheeler–who lives by scavenging–finds a cameo of Queen Victoria, which he thinks so beautiful that he risks his life to save it. Possessed of a desire to see the Queen, he slips past the Beefeaters and wanders about Windsor Castle just when a state dinner is in preparation. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli is struggling hard to persuade the Queen to end her long seclusion.

The portrait is in very good condition.
