Portrait of European 19th Century

1800–1800

European 19th Century was a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.

This artist worked in 1800 Europe, leaving three small pastel portraits and one bronze lizard. Their pastels show delicate chalk strokes on paper, like Hellene von Sleben’s blue background and a young man’s profile cut sharply against laid paper fibers. The bronze lizard glints with gilt, its toes caught mid-step. Each piece sits quietly under glass, waiting for the next viewer to notice the fine lines and the way light picks up the colors. See how the blue wove paper in *Hellene von Sleben* makes the face glow like candlelight on skin.
