Caroline Wilhelmina of Brandenburg-Ansbach (1683–1737) (copy after an original of 1716)

Kneller's portrait of Caroline Wilhelmina of Brandenburg-Ansbach, painted as a copy after his 1716 original, depicts the woman who became Queen of Great Britain as consort of George II. Caroline was one of the most intellectually able queens consort in English history — a correspondent of Leibniz, friend of Samuel Clarke, and skillful political operator who effectively governed alongside her husband. Kneller's original 1716 portrait preceded her queenship; this later copy, now in Stirling, documents how royal images circulated through copies in the eighteenth century.

The copy after Kneller follows the original composition closely — the evidence of the studio or workshop hand rather than the master appears in slightly less confident passages of drapery and background. The face, as in all copies, receives the most careful attention. The queen's robes and jewels are rendered with decorative richness appropriate for royal imagery.
