  anna dorothea therbusch
  1721-82 German painter of Polish descent. She was taught by her father, the portrait painter Georg Lisiewski (1674-1751), and received further training from Antoine Pesne in Paris. She worked for Charles-Eugene, Count of W?rttemberg, in Stuttgart from 1761 to 1762, and for Charles Theodore Wittelsbach, Elector Palatine of the Rhine, in Mannheim from 1763 to 1764. In 1765 she returned, via Stuttgart and Hohenzollern-Hechingen, to Paris, where in 1767 she became a member of the Academie Royale. She met Denis Diderot and Philipp Hackert, both of whom she painted, and Charles-Nicolas Cochin , but, despite consistent support from Prince Galitsyn, she was unable to establish herself in Paris. In 1769 she returned to Berlin where she received commissions for mythological paintings (e.g. Diana and her Nymphs, 1771; Potsdam, Neues Pal.) from Frederick II, King of Prussia. She painted portraits of members of the Prussian court, and the Berlin bourgeoisie, and in 1773 was commissioned by Catherine II, Empress of Russia, to paint a portrait of the Prussian royal family.
  Ernst Friedrich Therbusch
  Porträt des Gatten Ernst Friedrich Therbusch von Anna Dorothea Therbusch, 1766. Ernst Friedrich Therbusch war Gastwirt und Besitzer des Lokals Weiße Taube in der Heiliggeiststraße. Die Heirat mit ihm im Jahre 1742 und die Geburt mehrerer Kinder zwangen die Malerin, das Malen bis Mitte der fenfziger Jahre aufzugeben. Das Bildnis, das sie wahrscheinlich während ihres Pariser Aufenthaltes geschaffen hat, zeigt den Ehemann nicht als reputierten Berger, sondern vielmehr als sinnenfrohen und lebhaften Menschen mit bohemienhaften Zegen. -- ausgestellt in Schloss Friedrichsfelde (Standort des Stadtmuseums Berlin)
