This oil painting on panel by Dutch artist Abraham Wuchters depicts Charlotte Amalie, Queen of Denmark and Norway from 1670 to 1682. It is an intimate portrait of the queen, presented in a simple composition, showcasing her elegant attire and pearl earrings. The artwork was created sometime between 1625 and 1682 and is currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK) in Copenhagen.
