| Description |
English: Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor (1708-65) and Maria Theresa of Austria (1717-1780). "In this miniature, Francis is wearing the Spanish mantelkleid, a richly embroidered cloak, which was the dress for public positions at the Habsburg Imperial Court and had evolved from Spanish court dress of the sixteenth century. It was worn with a feathered hat and breeches. He also wears a lace steinkirk cravat which was designed to be worn loosely. The fashion is said to have begun after troops at the battle of Steenkerque in 1692 had no time to tie their cravats properly before going into action. This miniature is probably based on the artist's large miniature in the Hesse collection, which shows the Imperial family at Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, Austria. The artist, Antonio Bencini (born c. 1710), was miniature painter to the court in Vienna." |
