Lenbach, Franz von Portrait study of Otto, Prince of Bismarck, wearing a hat and glasses. Dark brown pastel chalk, smudged, with white highlights, on sturdy painting board. 38.2 x 30.3 cm. On the reverse, a confirmation of authorship by Lolo von Lenbach dated February 21, 1937, along with the handwritten title “Flüchtiger Bismarck. Beginn” (“Fleeting Bismarck. Beginning”) and “No. 8” in pencil. The loose sketch, executed in broad strokes, depicts Bismarck as a private citizen in a dark frock coat with a white cravat, glasses, and a hat. Lenbach first met Otto von Bismarck in 1874 in Bad Kissingen. This marked the beginning of a lifelong, almost friendly bond between the painter and the Reich Chancellor, which resulted in approximately 80 paintings and numerous sketches. Provenance: From the artist’s estate (bearing the estate stamp in the lower right corner). - Please ask for condition reports for the lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalog. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalog.
