"The fact that this painting is unfinished gives fantastic insight into the artist’s creative process – what is prioritised, how the composition is laid out and the layers of paint are built up… and even if unintentional, I love the unresolved aesthetic."
Arianna Leoni Sceti
The military costume of the sitter suggests a date of circa 1815–22. The artist was possibly from the circle of Friedrich von Amerling, whose paintings this portrait recalls.
