There are few portraiture of Füger that combine the model with a landscape view. The painter has never operated studies of nature, which would justify his request to combine this knowledge with the people representation.

They were led by Thomas Gainsborough and Joshua Reynolds, and later that held something Thomas Lawrence her characters in a similar view from below, so much of the scene is taken from the sky. Füger these compositional sophistication may have known of stitches. Regarding the brushwork but, that carried out in the design of clouds and using expansive and open strokes modeling of the body is undoubtedly adopt a careful study of the English models in the original.
