Friedrich Christian (1722-63), Elector of Saxony and King of Poland 1751

This portrait of Friedrich Christian, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, was painted by Gottfried Boy in 1751. The painting depicts the king in full armor, standing with a commanding presence. He is adorned with royal regalia, including a crown, a sash, and a fur-trimmed robe. The detail of the armor, the intricate decorations on the king's clothes, and the realism of the portrait all contribute to the painting's sense of grandeur and power. This painting, now at the Rijksmuseum, is an example of 18th-century portraiture, showcasing the skill of the artist and the opulent lifestyle of the sitter.
