1817 Maria Karolina Ferdinanda of Austria, Crown Princess of Saxony by Peter Krafft (auctioned by Dorotheum)

Her Wikipedia article, with a link to this image, is here. She died from epilepsy and her husband, Friedrich August II, then married Maria Anna of Bavaria. This is the same image posted before, but with a corrected title and new keywords. Also posted to the Revolutionary, Napoléonic, and Romantic Era Album here.
