*Large Portrait of an Austrian Nobleman - Biedermeier Period c.1830 - Oil on Canvas 46x56 / 60x70 cm - Gilt Frame* --- *Full Description:* *An elegant Biedermeier portrait full of character and distinction.* We present this magnificent oil on canvas painting depicting an Austrian nobleman from the Biedermeier period, circa 1830-1840. It is a work that perfectly embodies the spirit of the time: sobriety, bourgeois elegance and psychological depth. The gentleman appears with his black high-collared frock coat, white vest, bow tie and his characteristic sideburns in the style of the period. His penetrating blue gaze is of great intensity and establishes a direct connection with the viewer. The execution of the face is of high quality, denoting the hand of a professional portraitist from the Austrian / German school of the 19th century. The painting, of large format, has an imposing presence. The neutral dark background highlights the figure with great strength. It is presented framed with an imposing period frame in carved wood and gilded with gold leaf, with rich decoration of floral and vegetal motifs. An original and high-quality frame that perfectly completes the ensemble. *Note on restoration:* The painting is original from the Biedermeier period and has been recently professionally restored. The restoration included a cleaning and the application of a final glossy protective varnish, hence the shine visible in the photographs, especially with flash. This varnish protects and revives the original colours. The artwork is completely original from the 19th century. A unique opportunity to acquire an authentic portrait from the high society of 19th-century Austria, with exceptional decorative presence. *Technical Details* Subject: Portrait of an Austrian Nobleman, Biedermeier Era School / Period: Austrian School, Biedermeier, 19th Century, circa 1830-1840 Technique: Oil on canvas Measurements: 46 x 56 cm painting only / 60 x 70 cm complete including frame Frame: Original period frame in wood with gold leaf, in good condition Condition: Good general condition.
