German artist, King Frederick II of Prussia at the Battle of Kunersdorf in the Seven Years' War. End of 18th c. Oil on canvas. Unsigned. Framed in a black cove moulding with a gold-coloured sight strip. Beside Frederick II (left) are depicted from left to right: a Hussar regiment commander (?), Frederick William Baron von Seydlitz, and a major general of the Totenkopf Hussars (Baron Joseph Theodor von Ruesch ?). In the background on the left Frankfurt on the Oder is depicted. The painting was created after various prints, which were compositionally combined in the painting. The depiction of the major of the death's-head hussars agrees with an engraving which shows Baron von Ruesch. However, he did not take part in the battle of Kunersdorf. Image carrier with tissue margins, original image format reduced. Partially small canvas deformations. Clear, bowl-shaped craquelure as well as with climatic edge. Painting support made of two pieces joined by a horizontal seam (inherent to the work), visible on the reverse. Painting layer superficially rubbed, numerous retouchings and isolated small missing parts as well as with a loosening at the lower right corner. Verso remains of adhesive, probably from former doubling. Frame overlined. Measures: 41.3 x 57.8 cm, recto 50.9 x 68.9 cm.
