The palace was built between 1764 and 1770 by Friedrich August Krubsacius for Johann Georg, the Chevalier de Saxe, an illegitimate son of Augustus the Strong. Between 1781 and 1927 it was the residence of the second-born sons of the Saxon Royal Family, and was also known as the 'Palais der Sekundogenitur'. It was destroyed in the bombing of Dresden in 1945 and the ruins were demolished in 1951. The view is based on an engraving by Ludwig Richter, probably of 1813, published by E. Arnold in "30 Mahlerische An- und Aussichten" (Kupferstichkabinett Dresden, inv. no. 1995-3996).
