German School mid 18th century

Portrait of a Gentleman in a Breastplate and a Blue Sash

Oil on canvas. 67 x 53.5 cm.

The composition of the present portrait is reminiscent of the works of George Desmarées. The man depicted could be a member of the Wittelsbach house, as he bears a certain resemblance to both the young Prince Elector Maximilian III Joseph of Bavaria and to Duke Christian IV of Palatinate-Zweibrücken.
