Entourage By Johann Georg Ziesenis (1716-1776) Portrait of a Man at His Cabinet, in Interior Dress.
Leaning at his desk without a wig, wearing a housecoat, this man shows himself without artifice.
The small oval format emphasizes the intimate nature of this portrait.
Ziesenis, a Danish portraitist, enjoyed a successful career with his king Frederick V (1723-1766), then briefly in the Netherlands, but above all at the German courts of Hanover, Brunswick and Prussia.
Although he was prized for his ceremonial portraits, the portraits of his later career have a simpler style, similar to our portrait.
Dimensions: 35.5 x 30 cm
to be cleaned, a small lack of paint.
