Lot Essay

Christian Seibold or Seybold, (Mainz 1690-1768 Vienna) - is noted as court painter at both the Imperial and Saxon courts. Originally working in the Baroque style, he became influenced by the realistic genre style of Balthazar Denner. Five portraits by this artist including the present example (Gal. Nr. 2094) are located at the Gemäldegalerie, Dresden. Cf. anonymous sale, Sotheby's, New York, 20 April 2007, lot 93
