拍品專文

The sitter was the daughter of Duke Ferdinand Albert II and Duchess Antoinette of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. In 1733, she married Crown Prince Frederick of Prussia, later Frederick the Great (see lots 185 and 187). Their marriage was arranged by their respective parents and was unhappy from the beginning. They lived separately for most of their lives, often not seeing one another for years and only meeting at large family reunions.
