About the piece

This 1800 oil portrait by Johann Jakob Stunder depicts a young gentleman in the fashionable attire of the early 19th century. Dressed in a dark navy coat with a crisp white cravat and a vibrant striped waistcoat, the sitter is rendered with a soft, naturalistic light that highlights the subtle textures of the fabric and the calm expression of youth.
