From the collection of Kunsthistorisches Museum
Kaiser Karl VI (1685-1740) is a 1735 oil by Johann Gottfried Auerbach, a Rococo painting work, held at Kunsthistorisches Museum.
The painting depicts a man in a lavish yellow outfit, complete with a large hat adorned with feathers. He stands confidently, his right hand resting on a table to his left. The table is covered with a red cloth and features a gold statue of a cherub. A closer look reveals the intricate details of the man's attire, including the lace trim on his sleeves and the ornate buckle on his shoes. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to accentuate the subject's bright clothing. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Johann Gottfried Auerbach.
Johann Gottfried Auerbach (28 October 1697 – 5 August 1753) was an Austrian painter and etcher.
