[1890] Moving portrait of an African wearing a turban and traditional robes. An appealing if uncharacteristic work of the artist most noted for his portraits of German and Austrian royalty and other court figures. Austrian-born Rudolf von Mehoffer (1857-1938) studied under Heinrich von Angeli at the Vienna Academy in the 1880's. His output was not prodigious, and Allgemeines Lexikon Der Bildenden Kunstler; lists only ten of his work, including this one. Provenance: A private collection, where it has resided for thirty years. Overall in fine condition.
