About the piece
Created in 1771 by the renowned portraitist Anna Dorothea Therbusch, this painting depicts Johann Julius von Vieth und Golßenau, a Saxon politician and art connoisseur. The work masterfully balances the sitter's dignified presence with still-life elements—including a bronze figurine and miniature portrait—that signal his cultural influence and intellectual life during the Enlightenment.
