This is a portrait of the Duke of Brunswick, created by an anonymous artist in 1782-1783. It is a print that depicts the Duke in a military uniform, with a sword at his side, and a sash across his chest. The inscription at the bottom of the artwork describes the Duke as a "Field Marshal of the Netherlands". This portrait likely served as a propaganda piece to promote the Duke's military leadership. The print's small size, only 188 mm high and 114 mm wide, suggests it was intended for personal use or as a memento.
