Portrait of Austrian Statesman Prince Wenzel Anton von Kaunitz-Rietberg (1711 - 1794)
Jacob Matthias SchmutzerAustrian, 1733 - 1811
Prince Wenzel von Kaunitz-Rietberg was the powerful Viennese statesman who brokered the marriage between archduchess Marie Antoinette of Austria and the future king Louis XVI of France. Schmutzer’s distinctive style of engraving combined with etching brilliantly captures the metallic sheen of the large bronze portrait medallion that served as its model.
