This miniature portrait by W.A. Müller, a German artist active in the 18th century, depicts Princess Wilhelmine Caroline of Denmark, later known as Wilhelmine of Hesse-Kassel. The artwork, which is housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, was created sometime between 1748 and 1816, the year both the princess and the artist passed away. The miniature’s small dimensions, just 7.2 cm high and 6.1 cm wide, suggest it was likely a personal memento, showcasing the intricate detail and delicate beauty of 18th-century portraiture. The princess’s elegant attire and refined features are captured with precision, showcasing Müller’s skill in capturing the essence of his subject.
