Catalogue Note
Ce superbe portrait à la mine de plomb de Schubert apparaît dans l'important ouvrage sur le compositeur publié en 1913 par Otto-Erich Deutsch. Auparavant, le dessin n'était pas considéré comme un portrait de Schubert, mais Deutsch, autorité dans le domaine de l'iconographie du compositeur, l'identifie comme tel dans la collection de Wolff à Dresde. Un imposant portrait à l’huile, représentant un jeune homme élégamment habillé et portant des lunettes, fut acquis en 1993 par le Kunsthistorisches Museum à Vienne comme un portrait de Schubert, mais aucune preuve ancienne ne l'identifie comme tel. Quant au célèbre Portrait de Schubert par Ludwig Kupelweiser, conservé à la Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde à Vienne, il montre, comme notre portrait, le compositeur sans lunettes, qu’il commença à porter vers 1817. Cependant, la possibilité que ce portrait représente Franz Schubert de Dresde (1808-1878) n’est pas exclue.
This fine pencil portrait of Schubert appeared in Otto Erich Deutsch's pioneering iconography of the composer in 1913, since which date it has lain largely forgotten. Whilst there was no earlier history of its association with the composer predating Deutsch's identification of it in Wolff's collection in Dresden, we must own that Deutsch was a great authority on Schubert. Likewise there is no history of any identification with Schubert for the oil painting of a young man, richly attired and with spectacles, which was acquired by the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna as a portrait of Schubert, only in 1993. It should be observed that, as with our drawing, the famous oil of Schubert by Ludwig Kupelweiser, now in the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, also shows the composer without glasses, which he only began to use at around this period. Nevertheless, the possibility that the present portrait respresents instead Franz Schubert of Dresden (1808-1878) also cannot be excluded.
