About the piece
Painted in 1757 by Antoine Pesne, this portrait depicts Princess Anna Amalia of Prussia dressed as an 'Amazon' for a masquerade. The work showcases Pesne's mastery in rendering the shimmering textures of her silver-grey silk gown and delicate lace, set against a moody, atmospheric architectural background that includes a faint glimpse of courtly figures.
