About the Item
Etching by Karl Bauer (1905–1993), bust portrait of Frederick the Great
An expressive etching by Austrian artist Karl Bauer, depicting a bust-length portrait of Frederick II of Prussia, known as “Frederick the Great” (1712–1786). The ruler is shown in profile facing right, with finely drawn facial features that convey age and character, his hair pulled back and wrapped in a scarf or fur-lined cloak. Bauer’s confident linework and use of cross-hatching create a vivid sense of depth and texture, emphasizing both the sitter’s noble bearing and the artist’s strong draughtsmanship.
Karl Bauer, born in Graz in 1905 and later active in Klagenfurt, was known for his finely executed prints and portraits, often focusing on historical and cultural figures.
Condition: Overall good impression with clear platemark. Even age toning across the sheet.. Minor light abrasions visible in the chest area of the portrait, likely from plate or handling marks, not distracting to the image. Paper remains sound with no tears or losses.
