Anne, Princess Royal (d. 1759) was the eldest daughter of George II and Caroline of Ansbach, and wife to the Stadtholder, William IV of Orange. A great patron and practitioner of the arts, embroidery was one of Anne's many accomplishments, to the extent that in her portrait by Hendrik Pothoven, engraved by Jacobus Houbraken, 1750, this talent together with music and painting was evoked in the bottom half of the image (ed. C. Campbell Orr, Queenship in Britain 1660-1837, Manchester and New York, 2002, p. 178, fig. 12).
