About the piece
Painted in 1782 by Johann Georg Schütz, this oil portrait depicts a young man, possibly the composer Joseph Martin Kraus, in his elements. Clad in a stylish wide-brimmed hat and holding a musical score, the subject is rendered with a soft, dignified expression that exemplifies the scholarly grace of the late Enlightenment era.
