Christina Ewartina Nata de Bareith, Duc & Elec: Saxoniae, & c.
I. Danckerts exc. cum Privilegio.
[n.d. before 1701, Antwerp?]
Mezzotint. 250 x 185mm (9¾ x 7¼") very large margins. Slight vertical crease through the plate. Some foxing in the lower margin.
A portrait of Christiane Eberhardine of Brandenburg-Bayreuth (1671-1727), dressed lavishly. She married the Duke of Saxony, who would go on to become king of Poland, aged 21. Their marriage was unhappy, as the Duke was a serial adulterer, and her dislike of him only increased after he converted to Catholicism in order to become king. In response Christiane did not attend his coronation nor did she ever set foot in Poland and thus was never crowned queen in Poland. They had one child together.
