Portret van Kisfaludy Sándor 1808 - 1868

This portrait of Sándor Kisfaludy, a Hungarian poet and playwright, was created by Carl Mayer in 1808. The image depicts a bust-length portrait of Kisfaludy in a dark, formal coat with ornate buttons, a white cravat, and a stern expression. Mayer, a German artist, is known for his portraits and landscapes. The print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of the early 19th century. The close-up composition emphasizes Kisfaludy’s features and his serious, intellectual demeanor.
