Johann Georg Ziesenis's "Portrait of Justinian Theodor Friedrich von Holzhausen" (c. 1758) is a depiction of the young nobleman in an aristocratic pose, holding a rifle. The portrait is rendered in a painterly style with soft, muted colors and a focus on detail, a hallmark of Ziesenis's work. The work is currently housed in the Städel Museum, Frankfurt. The painting captures the fashionable clothing of the era and highlights the importance of hunting in noble circles during the 18th century. The pose and attire signify Justinian's status as a young man of privilege, reflecting the social hierarchy of the time.
