EDITORS COMMENTS
This mezzotint print, created by the skilled hand of James Watson in the late 18th century, depicts Princess Caroline Matilda of Great Britain (1751-1775), who later became Queen of Denmark. The image, estimated to be from around 1771, captures the young princess in a thoughtful and introspective moment, with her head tilted slightly to the side and her eyes gazing off into the distance. The intricately detailed mezzotint technique, which involves scratching the surface of a metal plate to create tonal variations, is evident in the delicate shading and textures of the princess's gown and the folds of her hair. Princess Caroline Matilda was the eldest daughter of King George II of Great Britain and Queen Caroline of Ansbach. At the time this portrait was made, she was still a princess of Great Britain before her marriage to the future King Christian VII of Denmark in 1766. The portrait was likely created during her time in England before her departure for Denmark. This evocative image, which showcases the elegance and sophistication of the 18th century, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the time. It is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, and a reminder of the fascinating history and culture of Europe during the Age of Enlightenment. This print, which is on laid paper and measures an impressive 11.5 x 9 inches, is currently on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. as part of their extensive collection of historic prints and drawings.
