"Friederike of Mecklenburg-Strelitz"

  • Identification proposed by user Ecummenic (talk) based on the comparison with some portraits of Therese of Mecklenburg (see images below) and the lack of physical resemblance of the sitter of this portrait to other representations of Princess Frederica.

Notes

"These portraits [...] surely belonged to a larger group representing all (then alive) members of the Mecklenburg-Strelitz House. After being for over two hundred years in property of a highly-aristocratic family in Lower Saxony they appeared at the sale of Berlin auction house "Stahl" on the 21st of April 2012, from which we acquired both of them for the amount several times higher than their original starting price.

Already during the period prior to the sale these two portraits were included by Neil Jeffares in the online edition of his "Dictionary of Pastellists before 1800" (see our images nr.15-18).

Similarly, it is interesting to mention that there exists virtually a "double" of Charlotte's portrait (on the right side of our image nr.1). First illustrated in (published in 1921) book of Lothar Brieger "Das Pastell…" (see our image nr.14) and then (recently) again by Neil Jeffares, it is a pastel by the same author (Johann Philipp Bach), in which the only difference is Charlotte's hairstyle."
