Black and white photograph entitled 'On the Balcony'. The photograph shows H. I. H. The Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna and H. H. Prince Rostislav Alexandrovitch sitting either side of a small table with Prince Orbeliani leaning on the back of Prince Rostislav's chair. They are all watching H. H. Princess Irina Felixovna Yusupova who is standing near Prince Rostislav. Taken by Herbert Galloway Stewart at Ai-Todor in The Crimea, in June 1916.

From page 16 of snapshot album number 18 of the Russian Imperial Royal Family, compiled by Herbert Galloway Stewart (1866-1960).

Princess Irina Felixovna Yusupova, referred to as 'B' for 'Princess Irina’s baby' by Herbert Galloway Stewart was the only daughter of H. H. Princess Irina and Prince Felix Felixovich Yusupov.

Born on 21 March 1915, Princess Irina was only 15 months old when this photograph was taken, perhaps recording her first steps.
