1765 (after) Marie Barbara Eleonore zu Schaumburg-Lippe, née Lippe-Biesterfeld by Johann Georg Ziesenis (Kaiser Friedrich-Museums, Berlin)
The Google
language translation for the Kaiser Friedrich Museums note:
"In this portrait the Countess, married since 1765 with Count Ernst
Friedrich Wilhelm of Schaumburg-Lippe, leans on a support adorned with the
family coats of arms of the alliance. In her right hand she holds with the
carnation, a symbol of fidelity. She wears a blue ribbon order with
diamond-framed miniature portrait of her husband pinned to her dress near her
heart. In the background are the park, ponds and hunting lodge "to
tree" at Bückeburg, the favorite residence of the Countess. She is found
in a tomb surrounded by forest where she was burried in 1776. This image is one
of the works created in the adult style of the Elector of Hanover's court
painter, Johann-Georg Ziesensis."
Marie Barbara wears a comfortable-looking, yet opulent, dress
without a vee bodice in this Ziesenis portrait from after 1765. Her dress
appears to have revers, but the revers simply continue down to form an
over-skirt. Lace was expensive back then to say nothing of her jewelry.
