Portret van Karel Lodewijk, aartshertog van Oostenrijk 1833 - 1868

This lithograph by Carl Mayer, dating from 1833 to 1868, depicts Archduke Charles Louis of Austria in a formal portrait. The image showcases a close-up of the archduke's head and shoulders, highlighting his features and military uniform. The print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Mayer's skill in capturing the likeness of prominent figures of the time. The small dimensions of the artwork, 108 mm by 73 mm, suggest it was likely intended for personal collection or as part of a series of prints. The image exemplifies the popular genre of portraiture prevalent in the 19th century, capturing the nobility and social status of the archduke.
