Dr. Franz Xavier von Soist is a 1850 oil by Unknown, a Biedermeier work, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
This portrait painting depicts a man sitting in a chair, with his right hand resting on his lap and his left hand touching his face. He is dressed in a black coat with a high collar and a white shirt underneath. The background of the painting features a light green curtain. The man's attire and the style of the painting suggest that it was created in the 19th century. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, adds depth and dimension to the painting. The painting is held at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
