專家說明

Joseph Weiss was the Director of the porcelain factory at Nymphenburg between 1763 and 1767.
The splendid frame is reminiscent of the work of François de Cuvilliés (1695-1768), a dwarf best known for the design and construction of the Cuvilliés Theatre (1751-1755) in Munich, commissioned by the sitter in the present portrait.
