About the piece
Painted in 1850 by Ferdinand von Rayski, this masterful portrait depicts Carl Ludwig von Schönberg, the Royal Saxon Forestry Inspector. Leaning against a gnarled pine tree in a deep, verdant forest, the subject is rendered with remarkable detail, from the tactile texture of the bark to the rich greens of his hunting jacket and the polished wood of his rifle.
