1772 Princess Maria Antonia Walpurgis of Bavaria self portrait (Galleria degli Uffizi - Firenze, Toscana, Italy) Wm

Maria Antonia’s hair is straight and built up, decorated with a strand of diamonds, as she wears a formal dress with a sweetheart neckline. She also wears a matching jacket, probably with a hood. Her dress may have a sacque back. I can guess the palette was added afterwards.
