This painting shows a man in a military uniform, standing in front of a landscape. He wears a tricorn hat and a coat with gold trim and buttons. In his right hand, he holds a cane, and his left hand rests on a table with a sword and a fur cloak. The man's face is serious, and he looks to the right. The background is a hilly landscape with trees and a cloudy sky. This portrait is a fine example of 18th-century German portraiture, and it invites you to learn more about the artist, Johann Georg Ziesenis.
