"anna rosina de gasc, née liszewska was the daughter of the polish portrait painter georg liszewski (1674-1746) and the sister of the more famous painter anna dorothea therbusch (1721-1782). In 1741 she married the painter georg matthieu (1697-1755) and after his death she married in 1760 ludwig de gasc. In 1764 she was invited to the court at brunswick, and seems to have remained there with some success. In 1769, the year after this portrait was painted, she was elected as a member of the academy in dresden. This would appear to be the best and earliest version of this portait type of the duke, and may be de gasc's prime original. Another smaller version (112. 5 by 81. 5 cm) is in the herzog anton ulrich-museum in brunswick (inv. Nr. 782), and others are in the saxe-coburg-gotha collections and the städtische museum, brunswick. ". Object Type: painting. Genre: portrait. Date: 1768. Medium: oil on canvas. Depicted People: Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Collection: Private collection. Ferdinand of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel by A.R. de Gasc (1768)
