Description: | The young lady and girl portrayed here are unlikely to be the English princesses Charlotte Augusta and Amelia, daughters of George III, as they were traditionally identified. Instead, their fetching costumes indicate that they could be French. It is possible that the portrait was painted by Marguerite Gérard, who specialised in smaller-scale portraits and intimate genre scenes, often of mothers and children. The delicate miniaturist sensibility of this painting fits with an attribution to Gérard, who was taught by her famous brother-in-law Fragonard. Gérard's work was also inspired by her elder sister Anne-Marie, who specialised in painting miniatures. | Subjects: | Princess Royal girl portrait (lady woman Princess Amelia) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Gérard, Marguerite (French painter, 1761-1837) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Ströhling, Eduard (German painter, 1768 - after 1826) Previously attributed to Zoffany, Johann (German painter, 1733-1810, active in England) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8658... | Go to resource |
