Porträt des Frederick Augustus I of Saxony (1750-1827)

Graff employs a restrained palette and precise brushwork characteristic of neoclassicism. The figure is illuminated against a muted green curtain, while details such as the white coat with red lapels, gold buttons, blue sash, and feathered hat are rendered with careful attention to texture and material.

Since its creation, the painting has remained within the holdings of the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, where it is displayed among other works of the period, reflecting the museum’s focus on German and European art of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
