Portret van Wenzel Ignaz Prasch 1761 - 1799

This is a portrait of Wenzel Ignaz Prasch by Carl Friedrich Lochner, a German artist, in the style of an engraving. The portrait is dated between 1761 and 1799. The subject is depicted in a simple composition seated with a quill in hand, wearing a patterned jacket. The portrait is framed in a rounded oval and the inscription below the subject identifies him as "Wenzel Ignaz Prasch, Mahler in Neubery, geb. 1761," indicating that he was a musical conductor. The artwork is a small piece, measuring 214mm in height and 133mm in width, that can be viewed in a more intimate setting. This portrait is likely an example of the neoclassical style that was popular in Europe at the time.
