Spiegel met een portret van Prinses Carolina 1757

This 1757 mirror by Christiaan Schröder depicts Princess Carolina in an oval portrait etched into the glass. The intricately carved, gilded frame features floral motifs and ribbons, characteristic of the Rococo style popular at the time. The image itself is a silverpoint etching on black glass, creating a subtle contrast between the princess's white gown and the dark background. The inscription on the mirror, "CAROLINA PRINC," identifies the subject and indicates the intended audience for this intimate portrait.
