Johann Evangelist Kasner (1776-1827) Portrait Of Karl Von Bohr With His Daughter Josefine

Our masterfully portrait of  a nobleman Karl von Bohr with his daughter Josephine was executed by the good-listed Austrian painter Johann Evangelist Kasner (1776-1827) and was exhibited in several important exhibitions of the time.
Since childhood Kastner showed a talent for portrait painting and in 1800 he entered the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. He was adored for his portraits of Viennese high society and his works can be found in Vienna's museums. According to the ancient memory inscription on the back of the canvas with the age of the depicted Karl Ritter von Bohr (b. 1772) and his daughter (b. 1803), we assume that the painting was executed approx. 1810.
