The artwork, measuring a mere 102mm by 72mm, showcases the duchess in a formal pose, adorned with a bejeweled necklace and a star-shaped brooch. Mayer's meticulous rendering captures Frederica's regal bearing, highlighting the intricate details of her attire and the delicate features of her face. The portrait is a testament to the skill of Mayer, a renowned German artist active in the early 19th century. This small but exquisite print, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent historical figure, serving as a visual record of the fashion and style of the era.
