Who is the man in this picture?

[edit]

This man is the father of Maximiliane : George Michael von La Roche und nicht Pieter Anton Brentano. Wer will die Information ändern ? Sehr Vielen Dank !!! — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.194.74.137 (talk) 13:25, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]


The description says that the man in the picture is Maximiliane's husband. According to another source, however, it is their father, which seems much more credible to me.

See Sabine Michaelis, Freies Deutsches Hochstift - Frankfurter Goethe-Museum. Katalog der Gemälde, Berlin, Boston: Max Niemeyer Verlag, 1982, p. 161. She states it is her father, not her husband, and the painting is by Anton Wilhelm Tischbein. Kusma (talk) 16:48, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See also here with a different artist / copyist. Pretty certain the man is la Roche. Kusma (talk) 16:50, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
