Portrait of Princess Charlotte of Wales is a 1817 oil by George Dawe, a British Romanticism work, held at Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
The painting depicts a woman in a white dress with gold trim, adorned with a blue shawl draped over her left arm. Her hair is styled in an updo, and she wears a hairpiece. The background features a red curtain, with a landscape visible on the left side. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal portrait, possibly from the early 19th century. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of elegance and refinement. This painting is reminiscent of the work of George Dawe, an artist known for his portraits of European royalty.
George Dawe (6 February 1781 – 15 October 1829) was an English portraitist who painted 329 portraits of Russian generals active during Napoleon's invasion of Russia for the Military Gallery of the Winter Palace.
