Christian Andreas Cothenius

Therbusch's use of oil paint and attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of textures such as the red velvet coat and white lace cravat, demonstrate her technical proficiency. The dark background and focused lighting on the subject are characteristic of her style, which was influenced by the Rococo period.

The painting is part of the Gemäldegalerie Berlin's collection. Anna Dorothea Therbusch was a prolific Prussian portrait painter, with over 200 attributed works, and this painting is a representation of her body of work.
