Elisabeth Augusta of Sulzbach

Executed in oil, the painting displays the delicate brushwork and ornamental elegance typical of the Rococo period. Brandt balances a luminous palette of white, red, and yellow in the dress against a subdued dark background, creating a subtle contrast that emphasizes the figure’s texture and the softness of the fabric.

Created during Brandt’s tenure as a court painter for the Wittelsbach family, the portrait entered the collection of the Alte Pinakothek, Munich, where it remains on display. Its acquisition reflects the museum’s focus on preserving works that document the visual culture of Bavarian nobility in the eighteenth century.
