Christian VII of Denmark (?)

1700-1750 H: 2 1/16 in. (5.2 cm) Citation Source image

Although an inscription in German on the back of the frame identifies the sitter as King George I of England, it is more likely that this miniature represents Christian VII of Denmark. The sitter wears the ribbon of the Order of the White Elephant.
