Portret van Augusta Frederika van Hannover 1764

This mezzotint portrait of Augusta Frederika of Hanover, created in 1764 by the British artist James McArdell, showcases the refined elegance of 18th-century portraiture. The image depicts Augusta Frederika, the wife of Frederick, Prince of Wales, with a delicate and regal air. She is shown adorned in a fur-trimmed garment, a detail that emphasizes her status and the opulent fashion of the era. The work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies McArdell's mastery of the mezzotint technique, creating a rich and detailed image.
