Anton Graff
(1736 Winterhur - 1813 Dresden) attr.;
Bildnis eines Fürsten
Um 1765 entstandenes, ausdrucksvoll charakterisierendes Hüftporträt des stehenden, älteren, hohen Adeligen in rotem Hermelinmantel, die linke Hand leger auf die Lehne eines Stuhl gelegt, den Kopf mit weiß gepuderter Perücke fast en face mit ruhigem Blick auf den Betrachter gerichtet. Bei dem Dargestellten handelt es sich aufgrund der Porträtähnlichkeit vermutlich um Fürst Ludwig zu Hohenlohe-Langenburg (1696 - 1765), der im Januar 1764 eine Standeserhöhung vom Grafen zum Fürsten erlebte, indem ihn Kaiser Franz I. in den Reichsfürstenstand aufnahm. Wohl aus diesem Anlass gab er ein Bildnis bei einem meisterlichen Porträtisten wie Graff in Auftrag. Graff, den George Desmarées und Antoine Pesne beinflussten, war 1759-1766 in Augsburg tätig, bevor er als Hofmaler nach Dresden berufen wurde. Öl/Lwd.; Verso altes Etikett mit Zuschreibung "Pes(ne)". 95 cm x 73,5 cm. Wohl Original-Rahmen.
Attributed to Anton Graff (1736 - 1813). Oil on canvas. Old label with attribution to Antoine Pesne on the canvas stretcher. Probably original frame.
