About the piece
Painted by Anton Tischbein around 1758, this portrait depicts the young Carl Justinian von Holzhausen. He is shown in a refined military-style hussar uniform of deep green velvet, accented with intricate golden braiding, fur trim, and vibrant yellow boots. Set against a terrace background with classical architectural elements, the work captures the formal elegance and status of the 18th-century German aristocracy.
