1791 Princess Louise Auguste of Denmark by Anton Graff (Rosenborg Sløt, Kobenhavn Denmark)

Next

This is a dark picture from which little additional detail can be found. Her life is a study in dynastic peccadilloes and manouvering. Her Wikipedia article is here. She was Queen Caroline Mathilde's daughter by Johann Friedrich Struensee, not the King, but treated as a full Danish Princess. Her daughter Caroline Amalie became Queen of Denmark. 

The un-hooped French style is in Denmark, but Princess Louise Auguste wears a high coiffure and long satin coat in this Graf portrait.
