August Ferdinand Hopfgarten (1807 Berlin – 1896 Berlin) Biedermeier bust portrait of a distinguished young woman in half-profile An artistically outstanding portrait from 1847, featuring subtle color nuances in the flesh tones and a sculptural modeling that renders the subject in a manner that is both dignified and sensitive, bringing her to life.
