# Portrait of George de Marées [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [WEISS, Bartholomeus Ignaz]() - Date: 1751-1800 - Technique: Oil on zinc, 31 x 24 cm ## Commentary The sitter of this signed and dated portrait is George de Marées \(1697-1776\), a Swedish painter active in Germany. He is depicted at his easel, painting a portrait of Johann Christian Thomas Winck \(1738-1797\), a court painter in Bavaria. The portrait may well have been done as a student exercise or as a homage paid by one relatively young artist to two of the leading artistic figures at the Bavarian Court. ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
