Portraits were considered her great strength. Jacqueline Weigand succeeded in precisely capturing the characteristics of a person by working out what is typically unique in the individual while maintaining a realistic conception of art. This also applies to her design of the monument to the Knoblauch King created in 2009 by the Mainz sculptor Reinhold Petermann , a Wiesbaden original, the life-size bronze sculpture of which was installed in Kleine Schwalbacher Strasse.
