About the piece
Painted around 1755 by the Italian artist Pietro Rotari, this portrait depicts Augustus III of Poland in full regalia. The king is shown in a powdered wig, wearing a deep blue jacket with intricate gold embroidery and a red sash over a polished steel cuirass, reflecting the refined grandeur of the late Rococo era.
