Who is the lady in the second to last portrait, with the lovely gold embroidery on her stomacher?

I'm afraid I don't know. She's been living on my hard drive for years, long before I reálized that it's a good idea to keep track on sitter and artist. :( But it's very likely that she is a German princess.

Having just made a pair of breeches in cotton velvet, I can definitively say yes, you are bonkers!

Yay for bonkers, I say!
