Frederica Sophia Wilhelmine

Niederländische Grafik 1730–1914, 1779

The image shows a person seated sideways on a dappled grey horse. The person is turned slightly towards the viewer, with delicate facial features including rosy cheeks and slightly pursed lips. They have short, curled hair beneath an ornate hat adorned with feathers and possibly flowers. They are wearing an elaborate blue coat with white and gold embroidery, a pink undergarment, light-colored gloves, a sash, and hold the horse’s reins. In the background, there is lush greenery, a tall tree, and a second person on horseback with a crown, set against a blue sky with soft white clouds.
