Portrait of Princess Caroline Matilda of Great Britain, Later Queen of Denmark and Norway 1754

This pastel portrait, created in 1754 by Swiss artist Jean-Étienne Liotard, depicts Princess Caroline Matilda of Great Britain as a young girl. The princess, who would later become Queen of Denmark and Norway, is portrayed wearing a simple white cap and a blue and green dress with lace detailing. This painting exemplifies Liotard's expertise in pastel, a medium that creates soft, delicate textures, making it ideal for depicting portraits of children. The piece is part of the Royal Collection at Buckingham Palace, London.
