About the piece

Painted in Rome circa 1766 by Anton von Maron, this portrait depicts Prince Leopold III Friedrich Franz of Anhalt-Dessau in the grand style of the era. The Prince is shown in a vibrant red coat and an ornately embroidered gold waistcoat, leaning with casual confidence against a classical urn. The work exemplifies the Neoclassical influence on portraiture, combining meticulous detail in the textiles with a soft, luminous treatment of the subject's features.
