The creator of the original sketch is unknown, but it is attributed to Major Horatio Gordon Robley of the 91st Highlanders. The Duke of Abercorn, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and his daughter, Lady Georgiana Hamilton, hosted this magnificent event in St. Patrick's Hall. The Duke himself donned the regal attire of King Charles I, adding to the enchanting atmosphere of the evening. The interior of Dublin Castle is beautifully adorned with ornate chandeliers, casting a warm and inviting glow over the guests.
