"whilst we remained in the neighbourhood of his candian (kandyan) majesty's residence, mr. William daniell was permitted to make a portrait of the queen, from which the accompanying engraving is taken; it may be relied upon as a most admirable likeness. She was very young, extremely pretty, of engaging manners, familiar without being free, and appeared much delighted at seeing her features transferred to paper. Her dress was becoming, her figure graceful, and her gait elegant. ". Date: 1836.
