The painting depicts a half-length portrait of the four year old Prince Severin against a dark background. He is wearing a red robe with volumious sleeves that are decorated with detached coloured strips. In his hands he holds a sword and his hair is blonde and curly.
Severin, like the portrait
The painting depicts a half-length portrait of the four year old Prince Severin against a dark background. He is wearing a red robe with volumious sleeves that are decorated with detached coloured strips. In his hands he holds a sword and his hair is blonde and curly.
Severin, like the portrait of his elder brother Moritz, looks to the right. The portraits do not therefore appear to interact, and may have been part of a larger series.
