About the Item

Elegant Portrait of Mlle Georges Veimer – Lithograph by Last & Van Visser, c.1836 A refined 19th-century lithograph portrait of Mademoiselle Georges Veimer, rendered with exquisite attention to detail and soft tonal transitions. The subject, depicted half-draped with classical poise, is shown with upswept curls, bare shoulders, and a thoughtful gaze. She wears a delicate bracelet and clutches a sheer drapery, lending the composition both sensuality and grace in line with early Romantic portraiture. This lithograph originates from a collaboration between Dutch artist Carel Christiaan Anthony Last (1808–1876), credited as the draughtsman (indicated by C.C.A. Last del.), and lithographer A. van Visser, whose name appears at bottom right. The edition is consistent in style, paper, and layout with a known 1836 portrait series published by Karl Joseph Brodtmann of Zurich, a major figure in early European lithography. While little is recorded about “Georges Veimer,” the style and naming convention—“Mlle.”—suggest a performer or salon figure of some cultural note in the early 1800s, perhaps from the theatrical or musical world. Such portraits were frequently produced of celebrated women in European artistic circles, especially in France and the German-speaking world. The presentation and composition align with the idealized female portraiture popular in post-Napoleonic Europe, blending neoclassical influence with Romantic sensibility. The combined skill of Last and Van Visser is especially apparent in the modeling of the skin and fabric, demonstrating both technical lithographic precision and a painterly sense of depth. This portrait is part of a broader tradition of lithographed celebrity or society portraits, popular among collectors, intellectuals, and connoisseurs of the time. Condition: Good overall. Sheet shows moderate foxing and staining in margins, with a larger water stain in the upper right and lower right corners. The printed image remains well preserved, with strong contrast and no tears or abrasions. Framing tips: This graceful portrait would pair beautifully with a neoclassical gilt frame or one in dark mahogany. Use an ivory or very pale pink mat to highlight the softness of the composition. Museum glass is recommended for archival preservation. Technique: Lithograph Maker: Drawing by C.C.A. Last; lithographed by A. van Visser; likely published by Brodtmann, Zurich, c.1836
