This 1778 engraving by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, entitled "Portret van prinses Elisabeth van het Verenigd Koninkrijk en titelpagina met de jaargetijden," features a profile portrait of Princess Elisabeth of Great Britain. Framed in a wreath and a decorative ribbon, the portrait is accompanied by a title page which depicts a putto carrying a garland of flowers. The text accompanying the title page refers to a genealogical calendar for 1779. This piece, housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of Chodowiecki's work, blending portraiture and allegorical imagery to commemorate Princess Elisabeth's birth.
