EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a study of four silhouettes, dating back to 1782. The subjects depicted in this image are Emperor Joseph II of Austria, King Stanislaus II of Poland, Margravine Frederica von Bayreuth, and Margravine von Anspach. These beautifully crafted silhouettes were part of JG Lavater's personal album, which consisted of one hundred and seven Indian ink portraits portraying European royalty. The black and white composition adds an air of elegance to the scene, highlighting the intricate details of their clothing and headgear. Each silhouette represents a different country and era within the 18th century aristocracy. This print offers a glimpse into the fashion trends and regal attire worn by both men and women during that time. Emperor Joseph II exudes power with his commanding profile while King Stanislaus II embodies Polish sovereignty. Margravine Frederica von Bayreuth emanates gracefulness in her elaborate headdress, while Margravine von Anspach captivates with her royal presence. This print not only captures the essence of these historical figures but also serves as a testament to JG Lavater's artistic talent in capturing their unique profiles. It is a remarkable piece that allows us to delve into the world of European royalty from centuries past.
