Original Description
Anna Dorothea Therbusch’s Selbstbildnis als Flora (Self-Portrait as Flora) is a captivating 18th-century masterpiece that exudes elegance and self-assured artistry. Painted in 1771, the work showcases Therbusch—one of the few prominent female artists of her time—depicting herself as Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers and spring. The warm, luminous palette and delicate brushstrokes reflect Rococo influences, while the artist’s direct gaze and confident posture convey a rare sense of authority for women in portraiture of the period. Therbusch’s skillful rendering of textures, from the soft fabric of her gown to the floral wreath adorning her hair, highlights her technical mastery. Historically significant, this self-portrait challenges gender norms by presenting a female artist not merely as a subject but as a creator claiming her place in art history. Its blend of mythological allusion and personal identity makes it a standout work of the Enlightenment era.
For interior spaces, Selbstbildnis als Flora would elevate a study, lounge, or office with its refined composition and rich symbolism. Ideally displayed against muted earth tones or soft pastel walls, the painting’s warm hues—creamy whites, blush pinks, and golden browns—would harmonize with classic or neoclassical décor. A gilded or ornate frame would enhance its Rococo charm, while positioning it at eye level in a well-lit area ensures its details shine. Given its intimate scale (originally 81 x 65 cm), it suits medium-sized walls or curated gallery arrangements alongside botanical prints or female-authored works for thematic cohesion. In a modern setting, pairing it with minimalist furniture creates a striking contrast, letting the artwork’s Baroque flourish take center stage as both inspiration and conversation piece.
