Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein
(Haina 1751–1829 Eutin)
Portrait of Dorothea, Duchess of Württemberg, née Margravine of Brandenburg-Schwedt (1736–1797),
inscribed on the back: J. H. Tischbein,
pastel on canvas, 58 x 52 cm, framed
Helmut Börsch-Supan confirmed the present painting as an authentic work by Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein, the so-called ‘Goethe-Tischbein’ (written certificate of 29 June 2020 in photocopy).
The old attribution to Johann Heinrich the Elder, the so-called ‘Tischbein of Kassel’, is incorrect, for the latter only very rarely used the pastel technique, and he had no connections to Prussia or Württemberg.
