    Miniatures by Antoine Pesne are frequently debated in art history
    research. Since this portrait is based on a full-sized oil painting by Pesne
    (Stiftung Preussische Schlösser und Gärten Berlin-Brandenburg) most
    evidence would indicate that he also made the miniature. The model,
    Baroness von Keyserlingk was a lady in attendance (“Ehrendame”) at the
    court of Elizabeth Christine, Queen of Prussia.
