Unfortunately, we know little today of the woman named von Birkenreuth depicted here. In this large-format portrait, she confidently sits at quite a distance from the Viennese painter, Karl Mediz. This distance left enough space to artfully spread out the train of her magnificent dress. Mediz rendered the dress referred to in the title as the ‘Staatskleid’ (or state gown) in great detail. The color of the shimmering purple silk blends into the light pastel tones of the background and the blossoms of the floral bouquet. Mediz, who studied in Vienna and Munich, excelled here in his pursuit of meticulous detail, which he also applied to his practice of landscape painting.
