Frederick the Great Playing the Flute at Sanssouci

also known as

The Flute Concert

aquiline nose

the monarch’s features represented in the painting [Frederick the Great Playing the Flute at Sanssouci] are highly idealized as Menzel avoids showing Frederick with his aquiline nose, although he must have known the death mask of the Prussian king.
