Auerbach’s paintings put 1730s Habsburg power on the wall. Two of his precise portraits here show Emperor Charles VI and his wife, Empress Elisabeth, dressed in court finery against solid dark backgrounds. His pendant pair for the Lobkowitz family adds another noble couple, the prince and princess, in matching style and scale. Look closer at the embroidery on their coats—every thread counts. Next, tap into one of these stately portraits and notice how the sitter’s gaze never quite meets yours.
