Portrait of Princess Frederika Sophia Wilhelmina (1751-1820) is a 1795 oil by Johann Friedrich August Tischbein, a Rococo painting work, depicting Wilhelmina of Prussia, Princess of Orange, held at Mauritshuis.
The painting depicts a woman in a white dress, seated in a chair. She has dark hair and is looking to her right. Her dress is flowing, with a large bow at the front. The background is dark, with a few objects visible, including a red cloth and a chair. The woman's expression is calm and serene. She is holding a piece of paper in her left hand, which is resting on her lap. Her right hand is raised to her chin, as if she is lost in thought. This portrait of Princess Frederika Sophia Wilhelmina, painted by Johann Friedrich August Tischbein in 1789, is held at the Mauritshuis.
Johann Friedrich August Tischbein, known as the Leipziger Tischbein was a German portrait painter from the Tischbein family of artists.
