Born to the
Catholic Wittelsbach family of Bavaria, she became Queen of Saxony that was
ruled by the Catholic branch of the Wettin family. She was the last Queen of
Saxony. Her Wikipedia article is here.
Pfalzgrafin Maria Amelie wears an alternate style to square
necklines and tight sleeves with engageantes in this 1769 Brandt portrait.
While her neckline is square, it is so rounded that it could be called a scoop
neckline and her sleeves are puffed where they join the arms and start puffing
below the constriction caused by the pearl rope. Pfalzgrafin Maria Amalie wears
no jewelry on her person, but her dress is richly ornamented at various seams
with pearl ropes.
