About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in his 50s or 60s. He’s sitting in a chair with one arm crossed over his chest, wearing a dark military-style jacket with buttons and medals. His hair is neatly combed, and he has a serious expression. The name "Dr. Josef Hauer" is written below the portrait, along with some German text that likely describes his achievements. The artist’s signature, "Josef Kriehuber," is in the corner. If you like this style, look up Romanticism next.
