About the Item

Clearly painted by an American master such as Thomas Eakins in the second half of the nineteenth century, this shadowy portrait of a young blond boy is handsome and affecting. The youth is depicted with a serious but warm expression, with subtly rosy cheeks, dark eyes, close-cropped hair and an expressive mouth. The dark background and sober clothing contrast with the warmth of the boy's complexion and expression. The painting is oil on canvas, mounted on wood board. The frame seems to be the original.

"Blond Youth w/ Lederhosen, " 1928 Portrait by Reyl-Hanisch, Renaissance-Inspired

By Herbert von Reyl-Hanisch

Located in Philadelphia, PA

One of the great masterworks of Herbert von Reyl-Hanish and clearly inspired by Renaissance portraits which show a dignified personage with an idyllic landscape behind, this portrait of a young, blond youth in traditional lederhosen is striking and powerful. The intense, open gaze of the young man, and his fresh, ruddy countenance, contrast dramatically with the jagged peaks and cool colors of the sky and mountains behind him. Reyl-Hanisch is sometimes described as a Magic Realist...
