Description
English: Portrait of Prince Karl Wilhelm I, Prince of Nassau-Usingen (1735-1803), husband of Countess Caroline Felizitas of Leiningen-Dagsburg (1734-1810).
"Prince Charles (1735-1803) is depicted here wearing a tie-wig – the hair is gathered together behind and tied with a knot of ribbon. In 1760, Charles married Caroline Felicitas, princess of Leiningen-Dachsburg-Heidersheim. He was the great-grandfather of Queen Mary, wife of George V, who inherited this miniature from her mother, Mary Adelaide, Duchess of Cambridge, in 1897. The miniature is now set in a silver gilt rim but was originally part of a gold bracelet, together with a miniature of Charles’s wife, Princess Caroline Felicitas (RCIN 10917). The identity of the artist is unknown."
