Maria Anna Sophie Sabina Angela Franziska Xaveria of Saxony (1728-1797) by ? (location unknown to gogm)

She was the daughter of Archduchess Maria Josepha and sister of Queen Maria Amalia of Spain and Dauphine Marie Josephe  Her Wikipedia article is here. Born a Wettin, she sought and received Prussian help to secure rights for the House of Palatinate-Birkenfeld, a branch of the Wittelsbach family. This branch is the branch from which the Kings of Bavaria descended. The Palatinate (Ger. Pfalz) borders France, Luxembourg, and Belgium.

Princess Maria Anna Sophie looks like she's going Amazon or maybe attending a military review in this uniform-influenced dress. From the angle in which the portrait is painted, it looks like she is holding a bicorne hat instead of a tricorne hat.
