About the Item
The painting titled Portrait of a Boy in Profile, attributed to Friedrich Wasmann (1805–1886), exemplifies the refined portraiture characteristic of the Biedermeier period. Executed in oil on canvas mounted on cardboard, the artwork captures the delicate features and contemplative demeanor of a young boy, rendered with subtle coloration and attention to detail. The composition's simplicity and intimate scale reflect the era's emphasis on personal and domestic subjects. Inscribed on the frame is Friedrich Wasmann. Not signed.
Friedrich Wasmann was a German painter renowned for his portraits and religious works. Born in Hamburg, he began his artistic training under Christoffer Suhr and furthered his studies at the academies in Dresden and Munich. His time in Rome from 1832 to 1835 was pivotal; there, he engaged with artists like Friedrich Overbeck and Joseph Anton Koch, leading to his conversion to Catholicism. Wasmann later settled in Merano, where he became a sought-after portraitist and created religious commissions in the Nazarene style. His works are part of collections such as the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, the National Gallery of Canada, and others.
The provenance of Portrait of a Boy in Profile traces back to the Sammlung Georg Schäfer in Schweinfurt, Germany. Back of the painting has a Sammlung Georg Schäfer Schweinfurt label and a possible inventory number. This collection, established by industrialist Dr. Georg Schäfer (1896–1975), is renowned for its extensive holdings of 19th-century German art. In 2000, the Museum Georg Schäfer opened to the public. The museum boasts significant works by artists such as Caspar David Friedrich, Carl Spitzweg, and Adolph von Menzel, among others. It stands as one of the most important private collections of its kind, comparable to the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin and the Neue Pinakothek in Munich.
The Museum Georg Schäfer continues to be a vital institution for the study and appreciation of German art from the late 18th to early 20th centuries, offering insights into the cultural and artistic developments of the period.
