Rome 1684 - 1764
Workshop
Title: Artist's Portrait in Red Robe and Black Hood.
Technique: Oil on canvas.
Mounting: Relined.
Measurement: 67 x 52,5cm.
Frame/Pedestal: Framed.
Provenance:
Auction Jacob Hecht, Berlin, 28.05.1929, ill. T.20 (as A.R. Mengs);
Private ownership, Germany.
The present work was in the past considered a work by Anton Raphael Mengs (1728-1779) and as such it was auctioned in Berlin in 1929. Steffi Röttgen mentions the work in her 1999 cat. rais. on Mengs under the no. EX 251, but copies it from the artist.
In an email from 08.07.2017 she confirms this judgement and considers it to be a work from before Mengs. After viewing it from a colour photograph suggests attributing it to an artist around the time of the student John Parker.
We are grateful to Steffi Röttgen, Munich, for her kind support.
