About the piece
Painted by Georg Desmarées in 1763, this portrait depicts Maria Anna Sophia of Saxony in a moment of quiet refinement. The artist masterfully captures the textures of her elaborate lace-trimmed gown and the soft luminescence of her features, exemplifying the sophisticated Rococo style of the Bavarian court.
