Portret van Eduard de Biefve 1841 - 1842

This small, detailed portrait of Eduard de Biefve, likely executed between 1841-1842, is a fine example of 19th century portraiture. It is attributed to the Monogrammist M, an anonymous German artist. The artwork features a bust-length portrait of a man wearing a coat and a cravat. The artist's skill in capturing the subject's likeness and the use of fine lines to render the details of his clothing are notable. This intimate and detailed style, along with the small dimensions of the work, suggest that it may have been created for private ownership rather than public display.
