Portrait of a Young Woman, between 1710-1730. Additional Info: The "Portrait of a Young Woman" is a typical example of a late Baroque portrait. She is portrayed with a bright, pearly complexion. Carefully styled hair with two curls on the sides of the forehead is decorated with flowers. The deep neckline is surrounded with embroidery and jewellery with expensive stones and large pearl pendants. A red, large coat lined with soft ermine fur is on the shoulders. The whole exudes refined elegance and dignity. It was undoubtedly a member of high aristocracy, but her identity remains unknown. It was previously believed that the portrait depicts Christiane Eberhardine, the wife of King Augustus II the Strong. However, the comparison with other images of the Queen proves that this is an entirely different person. It may be a portrait of her sister-in-law (brother's wife), Sophie von Brandenburg-Bayreuth (1684-1752).
