Description
English: So-called Portrait of Catherine II of Russia (1729-1796), but is probably a depiction of Maria Anna Sophia of Saxony (1728-1797).
  • Identification proposed by user Ecummenic (talk) based on the comparison with some portraits of the Saxon Princess (see images below) and the lack of physical resemblance of the sitter of this portrait to other representations of Empress Catherine II.
