Title
"Princess Maria Theresia of Saxony, Archduchess of Austria"
Description
English: So-called Portrait of Maria Theresa of Austria, Queen of Saxony (1767–1827).

"Executed in the mid 1810s (according to the sitter's dress and hairstyle) this miniature of superior quality shows an adult high-aristocratic lady, who is decorated with the badge of Austrian Ladies Order of Star Cross and insignia (sash and dangling on it cross) of a Honor Grand Cross Lady of the Maltese (St.John) Order.

Our comparison image nr.9 provides a better known portrait of this lady, which shows her 12/14 years later - in the year of her death - in 1827. So on our portrait she is no other than 45/48-year-old Princess Maria Theresia of Saxony (wife of future King Anton of Saxony), nee Archduchess of Austria (for her extensive biography see our image nr.10)."
