"Wilhelmine Encke, Countess Lichtenau 1776" is an 18th-century oil painting by the Prussian artist Anna Dorothea Therbusch. The portrait features Wilhelmine Encke, also known as Countess Lichtenau, who was a prominent figure in the Prussian court and the mistress of King Frederick William II of Prussia. Painted in 1776, the artwork is a testament to Therbusch's skill as a portraitist and her ability to capture the character and social standing of her subjects.

Anna Dorothea Therbusch (1721–1782) was a celebrated painter of her time, known for her realistic and insightful portraits of the European aristocracy and intellectuals. Her work was characterized by a strong sense of individuality and psychological depth, which is evident in the portrait of Wilhelmine Encke. The painting is notable for its fine detail, the rich texture of the fabrics, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow that brings the subject to life.

Wilhelmine Encke, later known by her noble title as Countess Lichtenau, was born in 1753 and became renowned for her beauty and wit. Her relationship with King Frederick William II, which began when she was only fifteen, significantly influenced the politics and culture of the Prussian court. Encke's portrait by Therbusch not only captures her physical likeness but also reflects her status and influence within the royal milieu.

The painting is an important cultural artifact that provides insight into the social dynamics of the Prussian court and the role of women within it. It also serves as a valuable example of the artistic achievements of women painters in the 18th century, who often faced significant barriers in the male-dominated art world. "Wilhelmine Encke, Countess Lichtenau 1776" remains a significant work in the oeuvre of Anna Dorothea Therbusch and a piece of historical interest for its depiction of one of the most intriguing female figures of the time.
