Princess Sophia Matilda of Gloucester
Watercolour on ivory, 7.1 x 5.7 cm, attributed to
Louis-Ami Arlaud-Jurine, c. 1790,
Royal Collection Trust


Arlaud-Jurine depicts Princess Sophia with a gentle composure characteristic of eighteenth-century royal portraiture. The soft colouring and  and delicate modelling lend the image a sense of calm and grace. Her expression and loosely arranged garment reflect the taste for natural grace in Georgian miniature painting.
