The portrayed here holds with the left, strong elongated and distorted appearing hand one filled with leaves wallet while he right that acts as expressive and holds a stylus on the portrait of a young man has. The details - like the character in the background - appear to blur here and barely legible. Rectify this situation creates, however, the view of another painting - a portrait of Jakob Matthias Schmutzer (Picture Gallery of the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna), painted by Franz Messmer and Jacob carbon 1767th in Our artist portrait is in the compositional system on this return, what already Haberditzl and - independently of him - Maser have noticed. This also exists a guide to dating. In 1903, this fascinating painting was auctioned as a self-portrait Maulbertsch on the 182. Art Auction of C. J. Wawra in Vienna; 1930 it passed by purchase into the possession of the Austrian Gallery Belvedere. Through decades, neither the identity of the sitter nor the attribution were questioned on Maulbertsch. Edward Maser, however, initiated in 1971 and especially in 1985 - after the discovery of early self-portrait (Inv Lg 1160) - a critical view towards this later paintings. The facial features of the sitter here in any case do not coincide with those of the actual portraits and self-portraits by Franz Anton Maulbertsch. Now, this has something to apply in spite of all the outstanding issues, a masterpiece of Austrian Baroque Art Performing portrait as one of the greatest mysteries in the Maulbertsch research. Monika Badger Nickel has suggested that this is a self-portrait by Johann Bergl, but other painters are not entirely ignore. Knowing the Schmutzer-portraits, as well as the "anti-classical" style suggest definitely that the painter of the portrait artist within the Vienna Academy is to be found. Maybe it was actually Maulbertsch, who created this stunning portrait. [Georg Lechner, 9/2009]
