Portrait of Freifrau von Münchhausen 1731 - 1776

Johann Georg Ziesenis's "Portrait of Freifrau von Münchhausen" (1731-1776) is a classic example of Rococo portraiture. The sitter, Freifrau von Münchhausen, is depicted in an elegant pose, dressed in a lavish gown with intricate lace and fur trimmings. The subtle lighting and the use of soft colors create a sense of intimacy and refinement. The small dog at her side adds a playful touch, further emphasizing the aristocratic lifestyle of the subject. The artwork is currently on display at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
