Porträtt av Prinsessan Sofia av Storbritannien (1777-1848), dotter of Georg III av Storbritannien.
"In this miniature portrait of Princess Sophia, aged 15, the artist has finished the head only, lightly sketching in the background. Her hair is painted with many small brushstrokes, but her costume is outlined in a few quick ones leaving the ivory base exposed in some places, such as the right sleeve. The artist, Richard Cosway, sometimes flattered his female sitters by elongating the neck and enlarging the pupils of the eyes, as can be seen if this portrait is compared with Sir William Beechey's painting of the Princess dating from 1797 (RCIN 403417). Cosway often made several versions of royal portraits for family members. A version of this miniature was in the collection of Princess Sophia's brother, Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge, and another belonged to her sister, Princess Mary, Duchess of Gloucester."
