Does anyone know who this woman is?
I found this in a "free to give away" box. It's a photo album. Does anyone know if the woman in the book has any significance, or is she just there and never existed?

The actress Babette Chochois

Lady in a crinoline dress, portrait of the actress Babette Cochois by Antoine Pesne, court painter in Prussia, around 1750 in Berlin.

This could be Marie Antoinette of Austria-Lorraine.
Could also fit:

Austria is definitely good. 😉
Little tip: France/Prussia would be better 😉
My first thought was Maria Theresa of Austria

The artist of the portrait is Antoine Pesne.
The portrait shows Elisabeth Christine Princess of Brunswick-Wölfenbüttel, Queen of Prussia.
Artist is correct, but the picture shows the actress Babette Cochois.
You're right!
