Unknown Artist 19th century

Portrait of Adolph von Menzel

Oil on canvas, mounted on card. 51 x 40 cm.

Inscribed on the back of the card: "Nachlaßauktion / Adolf Kaufmann / Wien, Dorotheum". However, this painting was not featured in the Dorotheum Vienna auction of 24-26.1.1918, in which the estates of Hans Wilt, Adolf Kaufmann, Hans Dvorak and Carl Karger were sold.
Adolph von Menzel was one of the most important German draughtsmen and painters of the 19th century. The hitherto unknown painter of our portrait has captured the artist's sometimes somewhat brusque manner in dealing with his contemporaries.
