Adolf Schmidlin
Portrait of Richard-Gottfried Waenker von Dankenschweil, 1919
About the object
The gaze from the model’s bright blue eyes appears vulnerable and is timidly directed towards the artist Adolf Schmidlin, who is painting the portrait. The portrait of the 5-year-old Richard-Gottfried depicts the member of the rich noble Wänker von Dankenschweil family in a black blouse with a lace collar and a bow tied in front of his chest.
