About the Item

Portrait of a Lady Artist: Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller (1793–1865) Medium: Oil on canvas Period: Early 19th century Dimensions: Framed: 84 x 61 cm Unframed: 72 x 62 cm Provenance: Includes documentation by Dr. Arthur Saliger This exquisite oil portrait, made by the Austrian master Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, exemplifies the refined realism and mastery of light for which he is renowned. Waldmüller was a leading figure of the Biedermeier period, known for his lifelike portraits and detailed depictions of Austrian society. The subject, a lady dressed in modest yet elegant attire, is rendered with remarkable precision. Her warm expression and gentle gaze are accentuated by the soft illumination, which enhances the delicate textures of her white ruffled collar and headscarf. The contrast between the light and shadow showcases Waldmüller’s skill in creating depth and a sense of immediacy in his portraits. This portrait is a fine example of Biedermeier portraiture, capturing not only the physical likeness of the sitter but also an intimate psychological presence. The detailed rendering of fabrics and the subtle gradations of light demonstrate the artist’s technical excellence and ability to create a luminous, almost photographic realism. The painting comes with a scholarly description by Dr. Arthur Saliger, further supporting its historical and artistic significance. Condition: The painting remains in good condition with minor signs of age. The original frame complements the artwork, adding to its authenticity and value. A museum-quality portrait ideal for collectors of 19th-century European art, particularly those with an interest in the Biedermeier period and Waldmüller’s oeuvre.
