About the piece
Commissioned in 1744, this striking portrait by Antoine Pesne depicts Louisa Ulrika of Prussia in full court regalia. The composition highlights the exquisite textures of her silver-threaded gown and the deep sapphire blue of her ermine-lined mantle, set against a dark, atmospheric background that brings the subject into sharp, luminous focus. It is a quintessential example of Rococo portraiture, blending dignity with decorative brilliance.
