Portrait of a Gentleman 1836

"Portrait of a Gentleman" is a miniature painting by Carl Weinedel, dating back to 1836. The portrait depicts a man, likely from an upper-class background, dressed in formal attire. The painting's small size and delicate details are characteristic of miniature portraiture, a popular genre during the 19th century. This work is a poignant example of the fine artistry involved in miniature painting and a testament to Weinedel's skill in capturing the sitter's likeness. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, "Portrait of a Gentleman" offers a glimpse into the fashion and social conventions of 19th-century society.
