Der Tiermaler Karl Reichert 1873 - 1876

"Der Tiermaler Karl Reichert" is a portrait of Karl Reichert, an animal painter, painted by Anton Romako in 1873-1876. Reichert is depicted in a bust-length pose, wearing a dark jacket and a white cravat. Romako's signature can be seen in the bottom left corner of the painting. This portrait is a fine example of Romako's masterful use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and realism. Reichert's expressive face and the loose, painterly brushstrokes capture the personality and essence of the artist.
