This portrait of Johan Georg I, Elector of Saxony, in
armour, can be dated to the 19th century. The subject
is depicted facing three-quarters right wearing armour
with a white collar on his shoulders and holding a
marshal’s staff in one hand. The aged Johan Georg I is
portrayed in his martial role against a neutral background
without any visual setting in a painted oval.
The portrait is iconographically and stylistically executed
in the manner of Frans Luyckx. This simple,
stylised portrait has a companion piece by the same
hand depicting the subject’s consort, Magdalena Sibylla,
Electress of Saxony (no. 33).
