Emilie Jenisch, Miniature Portrait Drawing 1815

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Wigs on the Green

This engaging charcoal drawing with a hint of colour to the lips may be a self-portrait. It shows a young lady wearing a dress with a standing frilled collar accessorised with a pendant necklace, her curled hair in a plaited knot secured with a ribbon bow. The drawing is signed along the edge Emilie Jenisch fecit Mei 1815.
 
Emilie Jenisch was born in Hamburg in 1790. In May 1815, the month this drawing was completed, she married Johann Wilhelm Rucker and with him had five children.
 
Despite her obvious talent, it appears that Emilie was not a professional artist.
 
In fine condition, the drawing is mounted within a later giltwood frame (slight loss to the moulding on the right side).
 
 
All prices include UK postage. International shipping will be at cost.
