Portrait of Johann August von Beyer

Johann August von Beyer (1730-1814), the man portrayed, was a German official and poet. The artist, Gottfried Schadow (1764-1850), was a German sculptor, regarded as the founder of the modern Berlin school of sculptors, most well known for the "Quadriga of Victory" (1793), a statue of a chariot drawn by four horses, atop the Brandenburg Gate.肖像中的人物约翰·奥古斯特·冯·拜尔（Johann August von Beyer，1730-1814）是德国官员兼诗人。该肖像的创作者戈特弗里德·沙多（Gottfried Schadow，1764-1850）是德国雕塑家，被视为现代柏林雕塑学派的奠基人，其最广为人知的作品为1793年创作的《胜利四驾马车》（Quadriga of Victory）——一件以四马牵引战车为造型的雕塑，矗立在勃兰登堡门顶端。
