Description
English: Portrait of Sophia Dorothea of Celle (1666-1726), wife of George I of Great Britain (1660-1727).
"This miniature of Sophia Dorothea of Celle is a rare portrait of the mother of George II, who was estranged from her husband, George Ludwig of Hanover (later George I of England). It is likely to date from the the early 1690s and must certainly precede the sitter's divorce in 1694 which led to her exile from the court at Hanover."

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
