Der Maler Theodor Alconière 1836

"Der Maler Theodor Alconière," painted in 1836 by Friedrich von Amerling, is a portrait of the artist Theodor Alconière. The painting captures Alconière in profile, his face turned slightly away from the viewer. His dark hair is styled in a fashionable, slightly tousled manner, while his attire - a black coat and white shirt with a black cravat - reflects the sartorial conventions of the period. This work is a fine example of Amerling’s skill in rendering the textures of clothing and skin, as well as his ability to capture the likeness and character of his sitters.
