a lovely portrait, with a lovely dress. I would say regency except the
attributed sitter predates that era.

1718-1746? No way! This makes no sense at all in the early 1700s! A century
later, maybe. Look at her diadem, the teardrop pearls, the bracelets on her
upper arms, the white and gold gathered underdress with red overdress
(typical Regency colours), the short, curly hair and the high waistline! No
way it's anything other than, oh... 1800-1810 maybe?
Very beautiful dress. And I love her jewelry.
Very interesting auctions. I've saved a couple of images. Thanks for
sharing!
