EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century portrait depicts August Wilhelm, Prince of Prussia, painted in the Rococo style by Antoine Pesne, based on an original work. Born in 1722, August Wilhelm was a member of the Prussian royal family, known for his military prowess and involvement in the Seven Years' War. The portrait showcases the prince's regal attire, including a mantle adorned with ermine fur and a decorative, colorful waistcoat. The intricately designed clothing, typical of the Rococo era, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the time. The prince's wig, a common fashion accessory during this period, adds to his distinguished appearance. The portrait was likely commissioned to celebrate August Wilhelm's status and achievements, and serves as an important piece of historical art from the Netherlands and Europe during the 18th century. This oil on canvas painting is now part of the renowned collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, providing a glimpse into the rich heritage of European royalty and the fashion trends of the Rococo era.
