Price: ON REQUEST
(please note additional 10% tax applies for transactions concluded within the European Union)
Very high quality pastel portrait of a young gentleman wearing glasses, depicted before the sky background. Although unsigned, this portrait - in our strong conviction - is an absolutely original work of well-known Berlin pastelist working between 1804 and 1827 in Russia, Karl Wilhelm Bardou (see our images nr.4-11 with comparisons).
Moreover, one should not exclude a possibility of this sitter's being the famous Russian poet, journalist, literary critic and close friend of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin, Prince Pyotr Andreyevich Vyazemsky (1792-1878; for comparison see our web # 36419).
Karl (Carl) Wilhelm Bardou (ca.1750 Berlin - after 1842 ibidem) was a very well-known German-Russian painter and graphic artist. He studied in Berlin under his uncle Paul Josef Bardou, moved in 1804 to St. Petersburg and stayed in Russia until 1827. He worked as a portraitist (also in miniatures) mainly in oil and pastel portraying Russian aristocracy in St.Petersburg, Moscow and Kazan. Works by him can be seen in the greatest Russian museums: Tretyakov Gallery and Tropinin Museum (Moscow), in Museum Muranovo and in the Museums of Kaluga, Kazan, Petrozadovsk etc.
