About the Item
Magnificent miniature portrait depicting Queen Sophie Charlotte of Prussia from the Restoration period.
The queen is depicted as a young maiden, probably during her stay in Versailles at the court of the Sun King.
The portrait is exceptionally refined, the young woman's face looks porcelain, illuminated by beautiful blue eyes. It features its original Louis XVI-style frame of finely chiseled and gilded bronze. The gilding is original in very good condition.
Written on the inside is her name "Sophie-Charlotte Konigin von Hannover."
Sophie Charlotte was the first queen of Prussia. He made a trip to France with his mother Sophie in 1679, ostensibly to pursue his interest in garden design. The main interest of the trip, however, was the possible prospect of Sophie Charlotte's marriage to the Grand Dauphin, son of French King Louis XIV, which Sophie was trying to arrange with the help of her niece and former adopted daughter Liselotte von der Palatinate, the king's sister-in-law. However, this goal failed because of the dynastic plans of Louis XIV, who chose a Catholic candidate in the Bavarian electoral chamber.
In 1684 she married Elector Frederick of Brandenburg, known since 1688 as Elector Frederick III, from whose marriage was born the future King Frederick William I.Having died very young, the king wanted to rename Lietzenburg Castle Charlottenburg in honor of his late wife.
