Description
English: So-called Portrait of Princess Friederike Luise of Prussia (1714-1784), wife of Charles William of Brandenburg-Ansbach, but is probably a depiction of her mother-in-law Christiane Charlotte of Württemberg-Winnental (1694-1729), wife of William Frederick of Brandenburg-Ansbach.
  • Identification proposed by user Ecummenic (talk) based on the comparison with some portraits of Princess Christiane Charlotte (see images below) and the lack of physical resemblance of the sitter of this portrait to verified representations of Frederica of Prussia.

Object history

Provenance:

  • First recorded as one of a pair in the King's Gallery at Kensington Palace in 1790 (nos 7 & 18);
  • still hanging here in 1818 (nos 316 & 327)
Notes
English: "Charles, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach, was Queen’s Caroline’s nephew; he inherited from his father in 1723 and married the daughter of Frederick William I of Prussia in 1729, George I's granddaughter. This unhappy marriage produced one surviving child. This is one of a pair of full-length portraits of husband and wife (RCIN 406794-5), identically framed. The Margravine appears here with an infant, either her firstborn Charles (1733-7) or her longer-lived second son, Alexander (1736-1806). This dates the pair to c. 1734 or 1737." [1]
