Attributed to Charlotte Jones, British 1768-1847- Portrait of a noblewoman, possibly Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales, bust-length, wearing a black gown with elaborate lace collar, a lace-trimmed black headdress, and gold and gem-set jewellery; watercolour on ivory, 8.2 x 6.3 cm, held in a gilt metal frame cast with rocaille motifs and a coronet finial. Ivory submission reference: D2SREBTK. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: This delicately painted portrait possibly depicts Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales (1796-1817), and would have likely been painted around the end of the Princess's life or shortly after her untimely death. Princess Charlotte was the only child of George, Prince of Wales (later George IV) and Caroline of Brunswick. The Royal Collection describes her as the original 'People's Princess', and after her death from complications of childbirth in 1817 the nation mourned her passing, which saw the publication of many commemorative prints, and resulted in many portraits. After receiving her training from Richard Cosway (1742-1821), Charlotte Jones was appointed miniature painter to Princess Charlotte in 1808, and many of her portraits of the Princess are still held in the Royal Collection. The present portrait, with its finely picked-out shimmering jewellery and soft, blushing facial features, strongly recalls Charlotte Jones's depictions of the Princess, including her portrait of circa 1812 in the Royal Collection [RCIN 421481].
