About the Item

18th 18th Century Portrait of Karl Josef of Habsburg-Lorraine oil on canvas, 29x23 cm Framed, 47x37 cm The retractor can be identified as Karl Josef of Habsburg-Lorraine, son of Maria Theresa of Austria and Francis I of Lorraine. Maria Theresa had as many as 11 children, 6 girls and 5 boys : this was the seventh, but the second-born of the boys. He was, therefore, in rivalry with his eldest son, Joseph, who was destined to be emperor. Unlike Joseph, however, he was an outgoing young man with a great intelligence that made his parents prefer him to his brother. He was then appointed Archduke of Austria and destined to become Grand Duke of Tuscany and, perhaps, even emperor. But, at the age of 16, in 1761, he died of smallpox and all hope vanished. In this painting the nobleman is presented at a young age: portrayed in three-quarters, although little more than a child, the Habsburg has a real and serious attitude. The light, bright colors of the complexion and robes contrast sharply with the neutral background of cool tones.
