Maria Antonia of Bavaria and family (Gemaldegalerie, Dresden)

Maria Antonia Walpurgis sits in the center of this outtake from a group portrait wearing something like a granny-cap. According to Wikipedia, they are, "Left to right: Karl of Saxony (1752-1781), Maria Amalia of Zweibrücken-Birkenfeld (1752-1828), Frederick Augustus I of Saxony (1750-1827), Maria Antonia of Bavaria (1724-1780), Maria Anna of Saxony (1761-1820), Maria Amalia of Saxony (1757–1831), Maximilian of Saxony (1759-1838), Anthony of Saxony (1755-1836) and Prince regent Franz Xavier of Saxony (1730-1806 - not in this outtake - gogm)." 

The high coiffures and the style of her cap suggest the 1770s, late 60s at the earliest. She died in 1780, so I estimate this is from the later 1770s.
