I found the following picture on the internet, which claims to be the picture of Rani Laxmibai, the queen of Jhansi. Seems to be taken from a newspaper article. The text below the pic reads as (translated from Hindi) "this photograph was taken 159 years ago by British photographer Hoffman. This was featured in the World Photography Exhibition held in Bhopal (India) on August 19th. This photograph was sent by a collector of antique items in Ahmedabad".
Personally, I have doubts about the authenticity of the claim. Would like to know if this is real or a fabrication.

Its fake..the reason behind is though camera was there since 1836,(when first photograph was clicked),the quality of pictures taken in those times were poor.moreover i have read about rani jhasi,she was not fair in colour ,though she had very sharp features.
Here is the real commissioned portrait of Jhansi Ki Rani:
