Julius Friedlænder, Portrait Of A Gentleman

Julius Friedlænder, Portrait Of A GentlemanThis sublime early 19th century portrait by Julius Friedlnder (1810 1861) depicts a stylish young gentleman wearing a white shirt, waistcoat, and black jacket. Hes brimming with life, eyes alive and characterful yet relaxed and open, with left hand casually resting on the chair. In 1834, when Friedlnder completed this portrait, he was just 24 years old but already a multiple award winner at the Royal Danish Academy. As such, his time was highly valued

We love the contrast between the young lady in the shadows and the light that floods the background
