This engraving, created by Pierre Drevet in 1723, is a formal portrait of Christine-Caroline, the Margravine of Brandenburg-Onolzbach, wife of Guillaume-Frédéric of Wurtemburg. The work is a fine example of 18th-century printmaking. It features Christine-Caroline in an elegant gown, positioned within an oval frame surrounded by decorative text that identifies her noble lineage. The image is framed by a stone pedestal and includes her coat of arms below her portrait. The engraving is a testament to Drevet's skill as a printmaker and showcases the grandeur of the subject's high social status.
