The hand behind it
Friedrich von Amerling
Friedrich von Amerling painted the Habsburg aristocracy and did it well enough to be ennobled for it. He studied in Vienna, Prague and London, where Thomas Lawrence’s fluency made a lasting impression, and returned to become the leading portraitist of Biedermeier Vienna. Skin and fabric are his strengths. The silks have weight, the flesh is warm rather than waxy, and the children in particular escape the stiffness that period portraiture usually imposes on them. He painted Emperor Franz I and a long procession of nobles, but the private pictures, sitters caught reading or half smiling, carry more life. He travelled widely in later years, married four times, and kept working into his eighties as photography steadily removed the market he had built a career on.

Questions
How is the finish priced?
The price you see is the painting at the size you chose, in the finish you chose, and it updates as you change either. Rolled arrives in a protective tube, ready for local framing. Stretched arrives on wooden bars, ready to hang. Framed arrives in its frame, ready to hang. Stretched and framed go up to 60 × 90 cm (24 × 36 in); larger paintings travel rolled.
How long does it take?
Painting begins after you order and takes 3 to 4 weeks, including drying and the photo you approve. Delivery then takes 4 to 10 working days to most countries. More on delivery times.
Will it look exactly like the original?
It is painted by a person, so no. Brushwork varies between copies, which is the difference between a painting and a poster.
What if I do not like it?
Ninety days from delivery, full refund.
Can I get Portrait of a Boy in a different size or shape?
Yes. Portrait of a Boy is painted to the size you want, in the original’s proportions, or adapted to another shape on request. Stretched and framed go up to 60 x 90 cm (24 x 36 in).
