Portrait

Gemälde, Zeichnungen u. Grafiken 16. bis 19. Jhd. – Die beiden als Pendants konzipierten Kinderportraits zeugen von der bürgerlichen Portraitkultur des Biedermeiers, in der sich ein neues Verständnis von Familie, Individualität und privater Repräsentation formierte und die auch Kinder als eigenständige Persönlichkeiten innerhalb eines zunehmend idealisierten Familiengefüges sah. Die ikonographischen Attribute - Blumentopf und aufgeschlagenes Buch - verweisen auf Naturverbundenheit, moralische Reinheit und Bildung und formulieren in Verbindung mit der klaren Konturierung und der zurückhaltenden Farbigkeit das ästhetische Ideal der Biedermeierzeit. Kanten infolge der Rahmung minimal berieben. Verso mit altersbedingten Bräunungen und Gebrauchsspuren. Insgesamt sehr gut.

Paintings, drawings and prints 16th to 19th century – Pastel on art paper. Each framed in a decorative frame. Edges show minimal wear due to the framing. The reverse shows age-related discolouration and signs of wear. Overall, very good condition. - These two child portraits, conceived as a pair, bear witness to the bourgeois portrait culture of the Biedermeier period, in which a new understanding of family, individuality and private self-representation took shape, and which also viewed children as independent personalities within an increasingly idealised family structure. The iconographic attributes - the flowerpot and the open book - allude to a love of nature, moral purity and education, and, in conjunction with the clear contours and restrained colour palette, articulate the aesthetic ideal of the Biedermeier period.
