18th Century Baroque Oil Painting Portrait of a Stone Trader, 1783

About the Item

This 18th-century Baroque oil painting by Thomas Höchsmann, dated 1783, vividly portrays a stone trader in a moment of candid activity. The artwork exemplifies the Baroque style with its dramatic use of light and shadow, intricate details, and dynamic composition. The stone trader, dressed in period attire, is depicted in a rich, textured setting that highlights his trade, surrounded by tools and materials. Höchsmann’s masterful technique captures the trader’s rugged character and the rough textures of stone with lifelike precision. The painting not only serves as a historical depiction of a tradesman's life but also as a testament to the era's artistic focus on realism and emotional intensity. This piece is a remarkable example of 18th-century European portraiture and genre painting. The painting is framed in a 18th century frame. A unique piece which is a great eye-catcher for your antique, modern, space age or mid-century interior. If you have any more questions we are very happy to help and send you more details, photos, videos, a shipping quote or information. All pieces are looked after in our own restoration workshop.
