I posted this in another section previously but I believe that was the wrong place to post it, so let me post it in the correct thread and try again.

Hello all, I have a very old print of a young woman that I need help identifying. I have removed it from the frame, it is not a painting but a print. There are no markings or signatures on the front or reverse. I believe the woman may be a symbol or the face of an idea, "Goddess of Liberty", etc. Her dress seems to date her around early 1800's, is wearing a 6-pointed star type headband / tiara with flowing scarf and a fur-type shawl or robe collar draped over her right shoulder. The details lead me to think if not a symbol then perhaps a member of the European aristocracy. This was in my great-grandmother's home for many, many years and not sure if she brought this with her when she immigrated from Vienna in 1904 (thus the possibility of a member of European aristocracy ideas).

I was able to find this using TinEye. Apparently it's Princess Louise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.

Here's an etching of the full painting:

Here's a detail of a portion of the actual painting. I don't think the artist is identified, but it shouldn't be too hard to find out.

John,
Thank you so much. I am not familiar with TinEye but will have to check it out. I now know the name of this beautiful young woman and it definitely makes more sense why my Great-grandmother had it.
