According to Karin Schrader, Der Bildnismaler Johann Georg Ziesenis (1717–1776) (Münster 1995), pp. 101–119, it is not clear that Frederick sat for this portrait. In fact, Frederick had a large, hooked nose and considered himself as ugly as a scarecrow. Therefore, he refused to sit for official state portraits which show him either stoic or heroic while this overly handsome portrait shows him smiling and facing.
