About the piece
Painted in 1832 by Wilhelm Bendz, this portrait depicts the German painter Wilhelm von Kaulbach. The sitter is rendered with sharp precision, dressed in a tall top hat and dark cloak that creates a powerful silhouette against a dramatic, atmospheric twilight landscape that highlights the Romantic influence of the era.
