Portrait of Friedrich Adolph Carl von Holzhausen 1789

Georg Karl Urlaub's 1789 oil on canvas painting, *Portrait of Friedrich Adolph Carl von Holzhausen*, depicts a young man standing in a wooded landscape. The subject, Friedrich Adolph Carl von Holzhausen, is dressed in fashionable attire, his attire and pose suggest a member of the aristocracy. The inclusion of a dog and a landscape setting evokes themes of leisure and nature, common in portraiture of the period. This painting, now housed in the Städel Museum, is a fine example of German portraiture from the late 18th century.
