This miniature portrait is unsigned. It is a copy based on Fuger's portrait of Empress Maria Theresia, second wife of Emperor Francis 1 of Austria. The original portrait appears as Plate L in "Portrait Miniatures" by Williamson and Home.
Another version, very similar to this one, appears in the British Royal Collection as Plate 721 in Walker, but there it is described as "Portrait of a Girl" and is attributed to Thomas Wright. 872
