Frederica Sophia Wilhelmina of Prussia, Princess of Orange Nassau

Deutsche Grafik 1750–1790, 1791

The image is a portrait showing the upper body of a woman, including her head, shoulders, and chest. She is positioned facing slightly to her right, with her head turned toward the viewer. Her facial features include a fair complexion, light-colored eyes, and a neutral expression. She has voluminous, powdered hair styled in an 18th-century fashion, with elaborate curls and two long braids over her shoulders, adorned with a decorative black band. She is wearing a sheer, delicate gown with a high, ruffled neckline, and a prominent pink sash draped over her right shoulder. Around her neck is a brooch-like adornment beneath the ruffles. The background is plain with a dark oval framing the portrait, providing contrast against the paleness of the paper surrounding it.
