Silhouetportret van Karl Theodor von Dalberg 1775 - 1840

This silhouette portrait by German artist Ernst Ludwig Riepenhausen depicts Karl Theodor von Dalberg, a prominent figure in the 18th and 19th centuries. Created between 1775 and 1840, the piece captures Dalberg in profile, framed within a decorative oval. The simple yet elegant composition, featuring a detailed inscription and delicate foliage, exemplifies the popularity of silhouette portraiture in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The miniature format (182 x 112 mm) suggests a personal or intimate object, possibly intended for a private collection.
