Lot 1768 | Antoine Pesne
(1683 Paris - 1757 Berlin) Umkreis Bildnis König Friedrich II. von Preußen Um 1750-1755 entstandenes Porträt Friedrichs II., der den Kopf mit ruhigem Blick auf den Betrachter nach links ins Halbprofil wendet, während der Körper ganz im Profil geschildert wird. Bekleidet ist der König in der Gala-Uniform seiner Leibgarde, der I. Bataillon Garde, mit dem Bruststern des Hohen Ordens vom Schwarzen Adler und zugehöriger orangeroter Schärpe und dem berühmten Dreispitz. Das Porträt basiert auf dem vielfach rezipierten, letzten, von Pesne nach der Natur gemalten Bildnis Friedrichs als Kronprinz bzw. junger König von 1739/40 in der Berliner Gemäldegalerie (Staatl. Museen zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Inv.-Nr. 489). Da Friedrich danach nicht mehr Modell saß, musste auch Pesne selbst und seine Werkstatt immer wieder hierauf rekurrieren. Dem vorliegenden Gemälde am nächsten steht ein um 1750 entstandenes, bekanntes Bildnis aus der Pesne-Werkstatt, das sich heute im Potsdam Museum befindet. Öl/Lwd., doubl.; Verso altes Inventar-Etikett des Hotels "Drei Mohren", Augsburg, mit Nr. 54. 88 cm x 72,5 cm. Rahmen. Circle of Antoine Pesne (1683 - 1757). Oil on canvas, relined. Old inventory label on the reverse.
