About the Item
This large remarkable mid-19th-century oil painting shows Julius Ferdinand Dreysel, a prominent cotton and embroidery manufacturer from Plauen, Germany. Painted around 1840 on a multiplex panel, Julius is dressed in a black jacket, grey vest, crisp white shirt, and black bow tie, reflecting both his social standing and professional success.
An original handwritten label on the reverse confirms his full name, dates (1809–1867), and profession. After his early passing, his wife Friedericke continued the business, making this portrait not just a decorative piece, it also tells a real story from 19th-century industrial history.
Originally created as part of a pair (see other listing), it stands strong on its own and adds character, a story and visual impact to any interior.
