Portrait of Princess Charlotte Amalie, Daughter of Frederick IV, King of Denmark 1755 - 1765

This anonymous portrait from 1755-1765 depicts Princess Charlotte Amalie, daughter of Frederick IV, King of Denmark. The princess is shown seated in a regal pose, adorned with elaborate jewelry and a flowing gown. The painting’s dark background and the use of shadow emphasize her status and formality. The composition, with its focus on the sitter and the surrounding regalia, is a typical example of portraiture from the 18th century. The work likely served as a testament to her royal lineage and as a reminder of her role within the Danish court.
