Porträtkopf Kronprinz Rupprecht von Bayern 1939

"Porträtkopf Kronprinz Rupprecht von Bayern" is a 1939 pastel portrait by German artist Karl Anton Reichel. It depicts the head and shoulders of Rupprecht, Crown Prince of Bavaria, and is characterized by Reichel's distinctive use of pastel, which gives the piece a hazy, dreamlike quality. This artwork is a part of the Städel Museum's collection. The painting uses a muted palette of browns, pinks, and blues and is a great example of the artist’s style. Rupprecht’s facial features are rendered in a realistic manner, but the overall effect is one of abstraction.
