This image represents Queen Victoria on 1887. She was close to the 70 years when this portrait came out, and yet maintain her appeareance, altough is already wearing black (color that she didn't stop using after the death of her husband). By that point, beside Queen of Great Britain, she was already Empress of India, as confirmed by the legend of the portrait. If you look at the details, you will notice that some elements, decoration and clothes, doesn't look completely Victorian, indicating that they were probably designed on India. Victoria may not have considered her Indian citizens as important as the British, but that doesn't mean she didn't care about them, or that she didn't respect them and their culture.
