Portrait of H. Gluckmann of Poland 1790 - 1835

Bartolomeo Pinelli’s “Portrait of H. Gluckmann of Poland” is a graphite drawing on paper depicting a man in a fur-trimmed coat and a large-brimmed hat. The work, likely a preparatory sketch for a larger piece, captures Gluckmann’s likeness with a loose, expressive style typical of Pinelli’s work. The artist’s signature and a brief inscription appear at the bottom of the sheet, providing valuable context for the portrait. This drawing, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, offers a glimpse into Pinelli’s artistic practice and the fashion of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
