Sophia Dorothea of Prussia by ? (location unknown to gogm)

From the lost gallery's photostream on flickr. Width set to 29 cm.

Sophia Dorothea's dress has big sleeves with cuffs, carry overs from the 1600s, but the low coiffure gives the appearance of the next century. The brooch appears to be hanging from a wire that conforms with the neckline contour of her bodice except at the bottom.
