EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant and captivating portrait, Princess Frederica Charlotte of Prussia, Duchess of York (1767-1820) is depicted in her regal splendor. The only daughter of Crown Prince Frederick William of Prussia, later King Frederick William II, Frederica Charlotte was born into the esteemed Hohenzollern dynasty, ruling monarchs of the Kingdom of Prussia. The year is 1801, and Frederica Charlotte, then aged thirty-four, exudes an air of refinement and sophistication. Her delicate features are accentuated by her intricately styled hair, adorned with pearls and feathers, and her piercing blue eyes are framed by a subtle yet striking makeup palette. Her regal attire, consisting of a richly textured gown and an elaborate headdress, further emphasizes her noble status. Frederica Charlotte's life was marked by significant historical events. In 1790, she married Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany, the second son of King George III of Great Britain. This union was intended to strengthen the alliance between Prussia and Britain during the Napoleonic Wars. The marriage, however, was not a happy one, and the couple lived separately for many years. Despite the challenges in her personal life, Frederica Charlotte continued to uphold her royal duties with grace and dignity. She was known for her charitable works and her patronage of the arts. Her legacy as a member of the Hohenzollern dynasty and as a British duchess endures, making her an intriguing figure in European history. This exquisite portrait, captured in 1801, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who defied the expectations of her time and left an indelible mark on history.
