I think this portrait looks to be an inferior copy/reinterpretation of von Angeli's portrait of the Queen from 1875. This portrait was widely reproduced. The differences include the addition of an ermine border at the Queen's collar, the small diamond crown, and the placement of the ribbon. The diamond and pearl brooch in the original is of course not a match for the baroque pearl brooch.
