Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales

Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales (1796-1817), Daughter of George IV.

Painted in the year of her death, Charlotte is shown wearing the Star of St Catherine of Russia and her 'Russian' dress (now in the Museum of London). The portfolio under her arm probably refers to her accomplishments as an amateur artist.
