SOLD!

According to the old (obviously painted in the 19th century) inscription, this oval oil on card miniature with portrait of a Prussian noblewoman was formerly in property of famous philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), who lived in East Prussian town Koenigsberg (now Kaliningrad, Russia).
The miniature shows absolutely all stylistic criteria of works by well-known Prussian 19th-century artist, Daniel Nicolas Chodowiecki, and could thus with great likelihood be his original work.

Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki (1726 Danzig - 1801 Berlin) started to paint small watercolor miniatures on parchment as box insets already at the age of fifteen. Quite soon he became a pupil of the Augsburg painter Haid, who introduced him to enamel painting. Later Chodowiecki studied under Bernhard Rode and tried to paint in oil. However, his favorite technique became the art of etching, so that miniature, enamel and oil painting had to take second place to his new occupation. Chodowiecki established good connections to the editors of pocket calendars in Berlin, Gotha, Goettingen. For them he created his most typical illustration series. The artist drew those small-size illustratrions and let different engravers make etchings of them.

Provenance: according to insdcription on verso was in property of German philosoph Immanuel Kant (1724-1804); private collection, Berlin
