HELP! in identification of person in painting

[biddybarracks]

Can anyone tell me where I could post an old photograph of a portrait to find out whether anyone can identify the subject for me? I'm not sure what country the painting originates from but I am thinking that there is a Spanish connection because the back of the photo has the stamp of the photographer's (the only part that I can decipher is Madrid). I'd appreciate any help going.
(p.s. I've taken the liberty of attaching the photo and the stamp on the back).

I can't make out a date.

Obviously this person is royal/aristocratic. The painting  doesn't seem Spanish to me though    Could it be a photograph of a painting of a princess/aristo from another country who 'married in'. It was fairly common to send portraits - though usually fairly small - so that the intended spouse could see his/her intended.

Have you tried googling on the Spanish Kings and Queen +images.

Also a detailed look at the regalia and the various items on the wall  behind might give a clue. Nothing is ever put in by accident.

Thanks for the suggestion, Gadget. I'll try googling that right now!

 I couldn't find anything definite when I searched the images.

The dress style looks early Victorian to me  - it reminds me of the dress style that young Queen Victoria wore. This suggests 1837- 1850   

I'm not sure of the Spanish Ks & Qs as I said before but again it will be available with a search.

Fernando V11 died 1833. After this there was a power struggle (post Peninsular wars and 'loss of Empire'/world status) between his brother Prince Don Carlos and his daughter Queen Isabel 11. So it could be Isabel 11

I've just checked some different portraits of Isabella II and none of them look like the woman that I have. HELP!

I've played around with the photgrapher's stamp but I can only make out Ant_g____. Could this possibly be Antigua? But that was a British colony?
I can't see Madrid - where is it on the stamp?

That crown behind her looks British - could it be a poor image of Victoria?
