A well-preserved, hand-painted portrait of an Austrian Hussar Officer. Presented on a pressed wooden backer, the image depicts a subject wearing a blue pelisse with detailed gold bullion wire froggings, complete with a matching cape of identical construction, and holding an ornate shako. The individual is flanked on the right by the signature of noted Austrian artist Wilhelm Richter (1824-1892). It is inset within an oval, plastered wooden frame, and secured in place at the reverse with five magnetic metal rivets. A bronze suspension loop emanates from the top edge, and is partially covered by a framer’s label reading “LEOPOLDO CALVI, MILANO”. The frame measures 38.5 cm (w) x 44.5 cm (h). Fine cracks consistent with age are visible to the image, and the frame demonstrates moderate chipping and scratching throughout. The portrait remains in an overall very fine condition.
