Portrait of Austrian 18th Century

1700–1799

Austrian 18th Century was a Baroque artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.

This Austrian artist worked in the 1700s, sketching religious scenes and classical figures in ink and chalk. Their surviving sheets include *The Martyrdom of Saint Simon* and *The Rescue of Deianeira*, both rendered in brown wash and black chalk, showing muscular drama under dramatic lighting. The bundle also holds a small gilded wood *Jubilant Putto* from around 1750. Want to peek? Tap *Figure Studies* to trace how the same hand balanced piety and movement.
