In his expert opinion, Börsch-Supan points out the striking resemblance between the young lady depicted here and a companion of Imperial Count Gustav Adolf von Gotter (1692-1762). This young woman (unfortunately unknown) is depicted in a painting by Jacob Samuel Beck, now in Sanssouci Palace, showing the count in pilgrim's garb.
