An ivory miniature in watercolour of Princess Sophia Matilda of Gloucester (1773-1844) Daughter of Prince William Henry, 1st Duke of Gloucester and Edinburgh, and her Maltese dog, after Sir Joshua Reynolds PRA (English, 1723-1792).

This portrait was presumably commissioned by the sitter’s parent, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, it was exhibited at the Royal Academy in the same year as that of the Duchess (OM 1015, 4000698). The work by Reynolds is today in the Royal Collection. It was quite common for artists, especially miniaturists, to copy the works of famous painting on a reduced scale.
