The Saxon statesman, patron and collector Baron von Fritsch is engaged in animated conversation with the Director of the Academy and Royal Art Collections, Von Hagedorn. In the background, the artists Zingg, Schenau himself and Graff are following their conversation. Books, a globe, a medal, a sculpture and floor plans refer to the theme of art. At the same time, the painting represents scholarly exchange among connoisseurs and collaboration between patrons and artists in 18th-century Dresden.
