Description
Full-length portrait of Emperor Frederick III in the uniform of the Gardes du Corps regiment. He is wearing a gilded breastplate. A black cloak hangs over his left shoulder. He is leaning on a sword with his left hand and holding a pickelhaube with his right. He is standing at the top of a staircase, the balusters of which are to his left. The crown is placed on this. In the background you can see parts of an antique-looking building with columns surrounded by a wooded landscape.
Holding
Provenance
This object presumably came from the property of Clara Marx and was added to the collection of the ‘Haus der Heimat - Sauerländisches Friedrich Harkort Museum’ during the Nazi dictatorship through a purchase. However, she did not receive the money for it, as it was allegedly given directly to the tax office due to overdue ‘Jewish property taxes’.
Parts of the collection - such as this object - became the property of the Hagen City Museum in the post-war period
