Lot Essay

Facing each other in profile, their hair and garments finely rendered and standing on a small tuft that hints at a larger space, the figures in this pair of portraits well illustrate the distinctive style of German immigrant artist Jacob Maentel (1763-1863) and in particular his work dating from circa 1810 to 1820.
