H.R.H. Princess Amelia Sophia Eleanor (1711-1786), 2nd daughter of George II
Sculptor: Roubiliac, Louis François
White marble. The sitter is facing towards the front, with her head slightly to the right. Her hair is turned back under a ribbon and gathered in two plaits knotted behind and falling on the neck. The loose drapery is caught by a brooch in front and falls in two folds over the bust.
History note: The former owner told Mrs K. Esdaile that the bust had been given by William Waldegrave, 1st Baron Radstock, to his sister Lady Caroline Waldegrave, daughter of the 3rd Earl Waldegrave. Her mother had been a Lady of the Bedchamber to the Princesses Amelia and Caroline, and the latter had been left £4,000 in the Princess's will.
Purchased with the S.G. Perceval Fund.
