Portret van Karl Friedrich von Württemberg-Oels 1742

This engraved portrait of Karl Friedrich von Württemberg-Oels, created in 1742 by Johann Martin Bernigeroth, depicts the Duke in an oval frame. The artwork is a fine example of the rococo style, a period that emphasized elaborate ornamentation, a trend seen in the Duke's powdered wig and the decorative framing. The portrait, which measures just 156 mm high and 89 mm wide, is currently held in the Rijksmuseum. The portrait is a fascinating piece of history, offering a glimpse into the fashion and cultural sensibilities of the 18th century.
