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 Witwent(, as a counterpart to the portrait of her husband Severin Schindler, entrepreneur of a 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 portrait paintings of the couple are preserved in the castle church in Schöneiche near Berlin. The depicted stands at a magnificent table, on whose tabletop is a superimposed book.
