Heinrich Hofer (German, 1825-1878), Oil on Canvas, Mid-19th Century Portrait of a Handsome Bourgeois
Mid-19th century oil on canvas portrait of a handsome upper-middle class man painted in a Realist style.
This painting depicts a handsome male sitting on a plain wooden chair, facing the viewer with his arms crossed on his chest. It is painted in a Realist style perfected in Europe and America in the 1850s. The painter removed all superfluous details from the portrait to focus solely on the sitter. Under his black coat and vest, he wears a white shirt that highlights his refined features and pensive gaze as two rings on his fingers reveal his social status. This painting has been relined and restored to showcase the masterful brushstrokes and handsome subject. There is minimal paint chips on the lower and upper right side of the canvas. Housed in a gilded wooden frame. Frame size: 20.60"L x 24.80"H. Artwork dimensions: 17.40"L x 21.50"H. Incised signature and date on the lower left: Hofer, 1854.
Issued: 19th c.
