Portrait of Queen Charlotte

The Portrait of Queen Charlotte, created by Scottish artist Allan Ramsay in 1762, captures the regal elegance of the newly crowned queen in her coronation robes. Painted on canvas using oil paints, this portrait reflects the neoclassical style popular at the time. While the painting’s formal composition emphasizes royal grandeur, subtle Rococo influences can be observed in the intricate details and soft color palette. Commissioned shortly after her coronation at Westminster Abbey in 1761, Ramsay’s work offers a refined glimpse into 18th-century royal portraiture.
