The sitter was the eldest son of King George I (see lots 118 and 121) and Sophia Dorothea of Celle. In 1705, he married Caroline of Ansbach (see the next lot), with whom he had eight children. His son Frederick, Prince of Wales, pre-deceased him and he was succeeded by his grandson, George III (see lot 154).
A similar enamel, probably by the same hand, was sold Sotheby's, London, 13 December 1976, lot 19.
