Description
English: Portrait of a British Princess, presumably Augusta Sophia (1768-1840), daughter of George III, or her aunt Augusta Frederica (1737-1813), formerly identified as a portrait of Queen Charlotte (1744-1818)
George IV had this painting at Carlton House as a portrait of his mother, Queen Charlotte, which does not seem likely. The image can be dated to c. 1740 by the very distinctive lace sleeve, but neither sitter nor artist can be securely identified and both are more likely to be German than English. The sitter is shown in a richly laced embroidered dress and ermine-lined robe around her shoulders, wearing rich jewels in powdered hair, round neck and at breast; a coronet is placed to her left.
