EDITORS COMMENTS
Augusta of Saxe-Gotha, Princess of Wales (1712-1772), is depicted in this stunning oil painting by the Swiss artist Bartholomew Du Pan (1712-1763), created around 1745. Augusta, who was born in Saxe-Gotha, Germany, became the Princess of Wales upon her marriage to Frederick, Prince of Wales, in 1736. This painting captures the grace and elegance of the young princess, who was known for her beauty and intelligence. Augusta's fashionable attire in the painting reflects the latest trends of the time, with a low-cut bodice and a voluminous skirt adorned with intricate floral patterns. Her long, curly hair is styled in the popular Rococo style, and she wears a necklace and earrings made of pearls and diamonds. The background of the painting is simple, with a soft, muted color palette that draws the viewer's attention to Augusta herself. Du Pan was a skilled artist who was known for his portraits of the European aristocracy. In this painting, he expertly captures the likeness and personality of Augusta, making it a valuable and beautiful addition to any collection of historical portraits. The painting's intricate details and lifelike quality transport us back to the 18th century, allowing us to glimpse into the world of the Princess of Wales and the European nobility of the time.
