Description |
English: Portrait of Ernest Frederick of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (1724-1800) and his wife Sophie Antoinette of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (1724-1802)
Deutsch: "Miniatur Portrait Doppelbildnis Ernst Friedrich Herzog von Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld (1724-1800) und seine Gemahlin Sophie Antonia (1724-1802), geborene Herzogin von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, vor violetter Draperie in Querrechteck unter gemalter Herzogskrone. Aquarell und Gouache auf querrechteckigem Pergament, in querovalen Karton eingelassen. 6 x 7 cm (queroval). Auf querrechteckigen Karton montiert. Ernst Friedrich, Herzog von Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld, war berüchtigt für sein wenig vorteilhaftes Aussehen. Die als ebenso unattraktiv geltende (und deswegen oftmals verschmähte) zehnte Tochter des Herzogs Ferdinand Albrecht von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel war somit eine perfekte Wahl. 1749 wurde in Coburg geheiratet, und von ihren sieben Kindern überlebten immerhin drei. Zu ihren Urenkeln zählen sowohl Queen Victoria als auch deren Gatte Albert von Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha, König Ferdinand II. von Portugal, Kaiserin Charlotte von Mexiko und König Leopold II. von Belgien. 1764 erbte Ernst Friedrich von seinem Vater das Herzogtum Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld, aber auch dessen immense Schulden. Um diese zu tilgen, wurde vom Kaiser in Wien eine Kommission eingesetzt, die dem Herzogspaar nur eine minimale monatliche Summe übrig liess." [1] |
