We are grateful to Dr. Sabine Grabner for her assistance in cataloguing this work.
With his powers of precise observation and rich colouring both working to present his sitters in a positive light, Friedrich von Amerling became a popular portrait artist in the Imperial city. In addition to landscapes, his primary focus lay in portrait painting with a preference for female models, his atmospheric depictions proving particularly appealing to the observer. He applied soft colours in his flesh-tones, using light and shade to underscore the facial expressions. Delicate skin is contrasted against the dark background, rendering a subtlety to the portrait. The ribbons with flowers in the young girl’s hair lend the portrait a delightful touch, with her gaze into the distance an attempt to capture the essence of her nature. Friedrich von Amerling’s portraits of women were never standardised; in each of his depictions, as in the current work, he strove to interpret the personality of the sitter.
