The sitters of this group portrait were the daughters of Johann Julius von Vieth und Glossenau (1713-1784), the Saxon courtier and counselor who was, amongst other positions, the Master of Ceremonies at the Court in Dresden. The daughters are Juliane Caroline, Edle von der Planitz (1752-1832), Sophie Juliane Elisabeth, Gräfin d'Agrollo (1748-1832) and Juliane Charlotte, Gräfin von Todtleben (1754-1840).
Most of Graff's work consisted of portraits of the aristocracy and newly enriched professional classes of Saxony and Prussia, and his work forms an invaluable pictorial record of that group.
