Artist

Carol Wallenstein

Carol Wallenstein is a Biedermeier artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at National Museum of Art of Romania.

Carol Wallenstein kept her left hand in her pocket whenever she picked up a pencil, a habit that made her self-portraits feel like stolen glances rather than posed performances. She drew herself the way a tailor marks fabric, quick lines, no fuss, just the angles of nose, ear, and the stubborn set of her mouth. For a glimpse of her eye, look up her 1923 etching Autoportret Carol Wallenstein; it’s the rare work where she lets you catch her off guard.
