Portrait of a Young Man (Thought to be Prince Ludwig Hohenlohe)

Portrait of a Young Man (Thought to be Prince Ludwig Hohenlohe)

Josef Neugebauer (Austrian, 1810–1895)

Oil on canvas, signed and dated 1874

With a gaze both introspective and assured, this finely executed portrait captures the quiet dignity of a young aristocrat—believed to be Prince Ludwig Hohenlohe—at the cusp of adulthood. Neugebauer, a Viennese painter known for his precise brush work and subtle psychological insight, renders the sitter with restrained elegance and a muted palette that speaks to the tastes of late 19th-century Austrian nobility.

Its provenance traces to Dorotheum, Vienna (2003.
