Summary

Description
English: Frederick II of Prussia in Waffenrock (dress tunic).
Deutsch: Das schwarz-weiße Bild zeigt den König nicht ganzfigurig. Der König ist von vorn dargestellt, der Kopf leicht gedreht im Halbprofil. Die mit einem Handschuh bekleidete linke Hand in die Seite gestützt, die Rechte auf den Krückstock. Der König trägt Uniform (Waffenrock mit umgelegter Offiziersschärpe, schwarze Halsbinde, Generalshut, Degen mit Portepee), dazu auf der linken Seite aufgenäht den gestickten (Ordenssterne aus Metall erst im 19. Jh.) den Bruststern des Schwarzen Adlerordens. Auf der rechten Schulter ist das geflochtene Achselband zu erkennen.

Zur Farbgebung: Der Rock dunkelblau ("Preußischblau") mit rotem Kragen und an den Ärmelenden ebensolchen roten Aufschlägen, die Knöpfe aus Metall sind silbern, ebenso die Offiziersschärpe und der Ordensstern. Der Hut - ein Dreispitz - schwarz mit weißem Federbesatz - der sog. "Plumage" -, den die Generale trugen.

Der König trägt den schlichten Waffenrock (Interimsrock) des 1. Bataillons der Leibgarde seines Garde-Regiments (IR 15 der Stammliste von 1806).
