Summary

Description
English: Imperial Countess Henrietta Friederika von Bünau by Marcello Bacciarelli, first wife of Lord Stormont (7th Viscount Stormont) later 2nd Earl of Mansfield (Scone Palace Collection)

(German: Henrietta Reichsgräfin von Bünau) was the daughter of Imperial Count Heinrich von Bünau (German: Heinrich Reichsgraf von Bünau).

Her husband later dedicated a monument to her at Scone Palace, where this painting of her were also kept, with the Latin Inscriptions :

"The husband wished that what remains of her beloved heart be placed in this urn" AD 1766. "Remembering each other's love forever and now, at last, he adds his own" AD 1796 "Dedicated to Henrietta Frederica Stormont, daughter of the Count of Bunau, wife of David, Viscount of Stormont, ambassador of Great Britain to the Holy Roman Empire. Flourishing in the prime of life, in talent, in beauty, remarkable for every praise, endowed with every virtue, she met a death happy to herself, [but] deeply bitter to her friends, parents and most wretched husband. March 16, 1766."

Analysis: Henrietta was depicted wearing her silver wedding dress, which was luxuriously decorated with silver metal thread alongside her entire dress, the lack of jewelries was done on purpose as per trend of the time for a bride.
