About the piece

Painted around 1750 by Anton Wilhelm Tischbein, this charming portrait captures the youthful elegance of Margarethe Sophie Leonore von Holzhausen. She is depicted in a luxurious blue silk dress with delicate lace trim, holding a small spaniel with red ribbons. The scene is set in an atmospheric garden with roses, apples, and a classical statue, embodying the refined Rococo style of the period.
