Friedrich August von Kaulbach (2 June 1850 – 26 July 1920) was a German portraitist and historical painter.
Along with Franz von Lenbach and Franz von Stuck, he was known as one of the "Malerfürsten" (Enghlish: painter princes) and was one of the highest paid portrait painters in Germany. His works were commissioned by the uppermost social circles there and in America.
