Brustbild von Nikolaus Dold is an unspecified by Ganter, Dionys, held at City Museums Freiburg.
This painting shows a man and woman dressed in traditional Elztäler costume. The woman wears a yellow straw hat, while the man has a classic black top hat. The artist used tin as a canvas, which is unusual. This might be because the artist used to paint shield clocks before becoming a portrait painter. The use of tin and traditional costumes makes this portrait interesting. Check out the technique of sfumato.
