Portrait of the Elector Karl Theodor of the Palatinate 

This portrait of Karl Theodor, Elector Palatine, was painted by Pompeo Batoni, a leading Italian portraitist of the 18th century. The work is a fine example of Batoni's style, which combined elements of Rococo and Neoclassical art. The Elector is depicted in a formal pose, wearing the regalia of his office, and his expression is serious and dignified. Batoni's works are known for their elegance and attention to detail, and this portrait is no exception. The Elector's richly embroidered uniform, the elaborate jewelry on his chest, and the subtle lighting all contribute to the sense of grandeur and authority. This portrait is a testament to Batoni's skill and the power and prestige of the Elector Palatine.
