Johan Hendrik Hoffmeister's "Portret van Karel August Willem Nicolaas van Saksen-Weimar-Eisenach" is a striking portrait of a young boy, possibly a member of the German nobility, created in the late 19th century. The artwork is a lithographic print, a popular technique during that period. The subject's formal attire and the oval framing of the figure hint at the portrait's traditional style and its subject's likely status. This artwork represents a common theme in 19th-century portraiture: capturing the likeness of individuals, often of high social standing.
