Caroline of Brunswick married her first cousin, George, Prince of Wales on 8 April 1795. Later in the month the Prince told John Hoppner that the King (George III) wished for a portrait of the bride. In August 1795 Hoppner somehow offended George III and the commission was given to Gainsborough Dupont, who had kept up his uncle's studio in Schomberg House.

The Princess sat to Dupont in June 1795; by March 1796 the portrait was finished, though the frame was not ready for the Royal Academy exhibition of that year and the painting was rejected as a consequence.

The Princess is shown in her wedding dress wearing a miniature of her husband on her breast.
