Richard Houston's "Portret van Charlotte van Mecklenburg-Strelitz" (1772) depicts Charlotte, the Queen of Great Britain, in an elegant pose, seated in a richly decorated chair. The portrait showcases Houston's skill in capturing detail, from Charlotte's elaborate gown to the intricate ornamentation of the furniture and the delicate flowers in a vase behind her. This artwork is a fine example of Rococo portraiture, popular in the 18th century, known for its emphasis on grace and refinement. The portrait is housed in the Rijksmuseum, a renowned museum in Amsterdam.
