Porträt des Johann Friedrich I. von Sachsen

Portraits of Johann the Steadfast and Johann Friedrich the Magnanimous

The portrait of the Elector of Saxony (on the left) is joined to that of his son, six-year-old Johann Friedrich. The boy wears a hat with magnificent ostrich plumes. The pairing of portraits of father and son is unusual, the son here taking the place of his dead mother.
