VERRE EGLOMISE PORTRAIT PRINCE RUDOLF OF AUSTRI
Item Details
Description
A well executed and important hinterglasmalere, reverse painting on glass of the young Archduke. Rudolf Franz Karl Joseph (later Crown Prince) was born on 21 August 1858 in Schloss Laxenburg, to Emperor Franz Joseph I and Empress Elisabeth. This portrait was painted C1867 and is mounted in a quality hand carved, solid wood frame. Unsigned, it was likely commissioned to hang in one of the royal residences. Next in the line of succession after Rudolf's apparent suicide in 1889 was Archduke Karl Ludwig. Karl Ludwig renounced his succession rights a few days after Rudolf’s death, meaning his oldest son, Archduke Franz Ferdinand became heir. Franz Ferdinand's assassination in 1914 sparked a chain of events that led to World War I. VGC, some light age wear to the frame. Size; total 21 x 32"
