ca. 1765 Maria Christina of Austria self portrait (location unknown to gogm)
This self portrait from around 1765 shows Archduchess Maria
Christina in a decidedly unglamorous condition - but wearing diamonds.
Archduchess Maria Christina's wears a bonnet-like cap with an
attifet-like pointed front. She also wears sleeves with engageante-like ruffles
at elbow position, but she does not wear a robe a la francaise like
she did for other portrauts.
