Gasc, Anna Rosina de (Vorlage): Porträt Maria Rosina Schindler

Short all-figure portrait after the semi-left of Maria Rosina Schindler, born Bose (1688-1746) in WitwentBo, as a counterpart to the portrait of her husband Severin Schindler, entrepreneur of the Prussian gold and silver factory. He had died in 1737 and donated his fortune to the Schindlersche Waisenhaus in Berlin, Georg Lisiewski painted his portrait posthumously in 1739, his daughter Barbara Rosina created the portrait of the widow in 1740. The father might want to promote his daughter and challenge her talent by not taking over the portrait assignment himself. The Lisiewskis were well known with the Schindler couple, Maria Rosina Schindler was also the patron of Barbara Rosina (Kovalevski 2010, p. 97). The depicted stands at a magnificent table, on whose tabletop is a superimposed book. With her right hand, she points to the book text, the "Psalm 116. | 7. Now again | satisfied, my soul, | because the LORD is loathing | you good. | 8. For you have torn | my soul out of the | tode, my | auge of the thrä = | nen, my foot from the | glide. // 9. I want to walk | before the LORD | in the country of the living = | gen. " In the background, a curtain on the left against a wall structure; a view of a landscape with trees on the right; everything framed in a rectangle. The engraving originates from the sermon for Mrs. Rosina Schindler, Berlin in 1746, which created Barbara Rosina Lisiewska in 1740 (preserved in the church of Schöneiche).
