Brave Fine Art has dated this piece to the 1920s.
There’s a gentle delicacy to this portrait and a sense of shyness in the sitter. Her demure expression and subtle smile are offset by a deep red background.
Richard Von Hagn was well-respected in his day and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden.
His contemporaries considered him to be a little introverted and he opted to dedicate his life to his art rather than settle down with a family.
