拍品專文

Maria-Antonia-Walpurgis was the daughter of Elector Charles-Albrecht of Bavaria (as Charles VII Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire) and his wife Maria-Amalia of Habsburg. In 1747, she married the Saxon Hereditary Prince Frederick-Christian who succeeded his father Frederick-Augustus (see previous lot) in 1763 but died in December of the same year after a reign of only six weeks. Maria-Antonia-Walpurgis was an important sponsor of the arts, and an accomplished composer, singer, poet and painter herself.
The outstanding quality of the present miniature justifies the attribution to Anton Raphael Mengs who painted the princess several times. A similar large oil painting by Mengs of 1751 is illustrated in the exhibition catalogue Königliches Dresden, Munich, Hypo-Kulturstiftung, 1990-1991, no. 28. See also S. Röttgen, Anton Raphael Mengs 1728-1779. Das malerische und zeichnerische Werk, I, Munich, 1999, pp. 236-237, no. 164.
