Maria Anna of Saxony by Desmarees (Schloß Wackerstein - Wackerstein, Bayern Germany)

From Wikimedia; spots in background removed with Photoshop by gogm.

Maria Anna Sophia wears a magnificent bodice ornament that merges into her order star in this Desmarees portrait from, judging by her coiffure, the 1750s. The print on the bow of the order sash looks cyrillic.
