Portrait of Justinian von Holzhausen c. 1735 - 1745

This anonymous 18th-century portrait, "Portrait of Justinian von Holzhausen", depicts a man of stature in a finely tailored coat. The subject's powdered white wig, along with the elaborately decorated coat, are suggestive of a wealthy and prominent member of society, most likely from the German-speaking world. The painting, now housed in the Städel Museum, is a prime example of the portraiture tradition of the Rococo period, known for its elegance, grandeur, and emphasis on detail.
