About the piece
Painted by Antoine Pesne in 1707, this formal portrait depicts Friedrich Ernst von Knyphausen in a moment of theatrical elegance. The subject's vibrant red velvet robe and fur trim provide a rich focal point, while the presence of a loyal dog and classical columns adds a sense of heritage and dignity common to Prussian court portraiture.
