Title
Princess Mary, Landgravine of Hesse-Cassel (1732-72)
Description
English: Portrait of Princess Mary of Great Britain (1723-1772), daughter of George II of Great Britain.

"In the miniature the red pigment has faded from Mary's lower lip. The portrait is either a fake or a copy based on an eighteenth-century portrait to which a false monogram has been added. The Hatfield case is engraved with her name and 'copied from a Miniature (by Ozias Humphry) at Gotha'. A photograph of this, however, shows it to be slightly different from the original. The photograph is pasted into an album of engravings in the Royal Library and annotated by Queen Mary: 'Mary, daughter of King George II & wife of Frederick II, Landgrave of Hesse. My great great grandmother'.

Crudely inscribed with the initials OH, a falsification of Ozias Humphry's monogram".
