This engraving by Johann Christoph Hafner, created between 1725 and 1754, depicts Elisabeth Christina, Queen of Prussia. The portrait, a small work measuring just 300 mm high and 192 mm wide, showcases the Queen in an elaborate gown, her hair styled with a delicate garland of flowers. The image is framed by a decorative border and includes her coat of arms and the inscription "Elisabeth Christina Regina Borussorum," signifying her royal status. This engraving is a fine example of portraiture from the 18th century, offering insight into the fashion and artistic trends of the period. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
