Unsigned. Provenance: Acquired with another signed work by the same hand. To the reverse remains part of an old label, detailing the artist's name and birth year. Well presented in a gilt frame. On canvas laid to board.

Condition

Signs of wear consistent with age, including craquelure and abrasions to the surface. There is some discolouration to the varnish. The artwork has undergone previous restoration – notably the original canvas has been laid to board, resulting in some undulation to the surface. Light wear to the frame.

Artist Biography

Franz Seraph von Lenbach (1836-1904) was a German painter, active mainly in Munich but also across Europe. He painted various subjects, but is remembered as the most successful German portrait artist of his day. His use of the Venetian Method combined with his solid characterisation appealed greatly to German high society. He had a friendship with Otto Von Bismarck, whom he first met in 1878. He would go on to complete around a hundred portraits of Bismarck in his lifetime.
