Margrave Ludwig of Baden in East European costume
Since 1729 70 costumes in the literature and in the inventory books can be found in the Schloss Favorite Rastatt (erected approx. 1710-1725) as a complete series until 1929. They were therefore in the Favorite for more than 200 years and they came from the property of the markgraves of Baden-Baden in state property. After 1929 losses resulted in the original total stock, mainly as a result of seizures, which took place in the years 1939 to 1947. In the year 2000, ten missing costume paintings from the art trade could be reclaimed. A total of 14 of these unique costumes are still missing.
The costume picture was offered and sold in February 2016 at an auction in Laval (France).
