Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales Greetings Card
Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:
Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales NPG 1914(19)
© National Portrait Gallery, London
by Thomas Heaphy
In general, portraits of Princess Charlotte as a young adult promoted a belief in her wholesome beauty. A skilful and leading watercolourist, Thomas Heaphy, who enjoyed royal patronage, captured a highly attractive impression of the golden-haired, rosy-cheeked princess in this unfinished study for a later work. In the completed version, signs that recalled her status as a future Queen of England were included, such as a coronet decorated with the Prince of Wales feathers and the Coronation Chair.
Card size: 125mm x 175mm
