Joseph Werner

In Augsburg he worked for the Bavarian Elector in Vienna, painting a portrait of Leopold I, and was then invited to Berlin by the Prussian King Frederik.

He earned a reputation as a miniatures painter at the court of the Saxon King in Dresden.

In 1764, Joseph Christopher Werner made sketches of the royal insignia during the coronation of the last Polish king, Stanisław August Poniatowski.

Werner's drawings are in the Royal Castle and Cabinet of Engravings at the University Library of Warsaw.
