This remarkable Biedermeier-era portrait depicts Johann Jakob Jung (1779-1847), a German metallurgist and member of parliament. The work was acquired as one of a pair. The accompanying piece depicts his wife Amalia Catharina Jung (née Becker) (1782-1850), and is also listed (sx686). Both are beautifully presented in gilt frames richly embellished with cartouche and scrolling foliate motifs. Unsigned. On canvas on stretchers.
