About the piece
Painted in 1876, Frank Duveneck's portrait of Richard Creifelds exemplifies the 'bravura' brushwork and dark, moody palette of the Munich School. The sitter's face is illuminated by a sharp light source against a deep umber background, creating a sense of psychological depth and immediate presence characteristic of 19th-century realism.
