Maria Aurora von Königsmarck was the daughter of Conrad Christofer von Königsmarck and Maria Kristina Wrangel and lived in Sweden from 1680 to 1692, where she was a central figure in the pious circle connected to Queen Ulrika Eleonora the elder. In 1684, she aroused interest when she staged Racine’s play Iphigénie en Aulide at Court.
The composer, singer, musical theorist, and diplomat Johann Mattheson used a full-length portrait of her as his frontispiece for Das Neu-Eröffnete Orchestre in 1713, and it is apparent from his Grundlage einer Ehren-Pforte, from 1740, that he had known her since 1703.
