This is - not - a portrait of Princess Charlotte. It has been frequently called that, but it's quite easy to see that that is incorrect. Winterhalter and his brother, Hermann, painted several "fantasy portraits" of unknown young girls. Winterhalter also painted several portraits of the Princess. A simple comparison of those with this painting proves they are not the same subject. The hair is a different color but, more obviously, the eyes are an entirely different color!
