Carl Ludwig Herting 1803 - 1879
Oil on tin plate.
Ornate gilt frame.
Painted in the German town of Einbeck in 1837, this intimate portrait is signed on the reverse “C. Herting fec. Einbeck 1837”
The artist is believed to be Carl Friedrich Ludwig Herting, a German painter who would later become internationally recognised for his innovative wallpaper designs and decorative manufacturing. Created just two years before Herting established his celebrated wallpaper factory, this work likely belongs to the artist’s early painting career.
Rendered with sensitivity, the sitter is depicted in fashionable dress of the late 1830s, adorned with delicate lace and jewellery. Her direct gaze and composed expression capture the restrained elegance characteristic of nineteenth-century German portraiture.
Size: 26.5 x 20.5
Frame: 38 x 32
Quality note: Small pin head sized puncture to the tin on the lower right. Frame shows patina indicative of age.
