This outstanding miniature demonstrates the artist Jeremiah Meyer's finest qualities,in particular the linear precision (most evident in the use of hatching in the hair), the firm structure of the face, the refined colouring and the smooth modelling. The lace cap which Queen Charlotte is shown wearing was much favoured by the queen.
