Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf

Zinzendorf's Wife, Erdmuth Dorothea Von Reuss

This is a portrait of Erdmuth Dorothea, Countess Reuss when she was sixteen years of age. She spent her childhood and youth at her family’s castle in Ebersdorf. Six years after this portrait was painted she married (1722) Count Zinzendorf. They lived together in the manor house in Berthelsdorf and also in the manor house completed in Herrnhut in 1727. Of their twelve children, only four reached adulthood and only three (Benigna, Agnes, and Elizabeth) outlived their parents. Christian Renatus died in London at the age of twenty-five and was buried there.
