About the piece
Painted in 1778 by Ernst Gottlob, this portrait captures the Duke of Brunswick in a moment of poised authority. The rich textures of his red velvet coat and the warm, atmospheric landscape in the background create a sense of classic elegance and historical depth, characteristic of late 18th-century European portraiture.
