About the piece
Painted in 1895 by Franz Defregger, this striking portrait captures fellow artist Franz von Lenbach with remarkable psychological depth. The work is characterized by its moody palette, meticulous rendering of the sitter's beard, and the intelligent, sharp gaze behind thin-rimmed spectacles, characteristic of late 19th-century European realism.
