Karl Friedrich Irminger

 

 

(1813-1863)

Portrait of a handsome Zurich gentleman of the Biedermeier period.

Lithograph, probably after a Daguerreotype.

Karl Friedrich Irminger was a well known Zurich-based portraitist, engraver and lithographer. His works included portaits of military men, caricatures, and illustrations for Zurich "New Year's Sheets" (Neujahrsblaetter)

He is listed in the Benezit.

Despite his successful early career, Irminger died in deep poverty in March 1863.

This sheet suffers from some foxing in the margins and there are some bits of tape at the edges of the image. But the overall effect of the image is stunning. The sitter is a very elegant living presence from another time.

 

This antique litho is also availalbe as a reproduction on Zazzle.
