Christian VII of Denmark (?)
1700-1750
Enamel on copper
Although an inscription in German on the back of the frame identifies the sitter as King George I of England, it is more likely that this miniature represents Christian VII of Denmark. The sitter wears the ribbon of the Order of the White Elephant.
