Austrian school (XIX) - Franz Schubert (1797–1828)

This refined oil miniature painting features an elegant portrait intended to depict Franz Schubert (1797–1828), set within an oval frame decorated with a finely crafted gold border. The artist accurately captures the character's features: a full face, a contemplative gaze behind small round glasses, carefully rendered curly hair, and attire typical of the early nineteenth century, with a light waistcoat, red tie, and dark jacket.

The miniature is mounted in a spectacular golden frame, richly shaped with scrolls and shells at the corners, highlighting its precious and collectible character. The contrast between the sober dark background of the passe-partout and the brilliance of the gold creates a visually elegant balance.
The work, of a typically 19th-century taste, combines technical finesse and historical value, making it particularly suitable for collectors of miniatures, period portraiture, and iconography related to the famous composer.
