EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait study, titled "Portrait study for the Homecoming of the Landwehrmann" by Johann Peter Krafft, dates back to the 1810s, before the completion of the renowned painting in 1817. The artwork, now housed in the Austrian Gallery Belvedere, showcases the meticulous attention to detail and realism that characterized the Biedermeier movement during the 19th century. The subject of the study is an elderly man, likely a militiaman or a member of the armed forces, dressed in the traditional uniform of the Landwehr, a militia force in the Austrian Empire. The man is depicted in profile, with a balding head and a furrowed brow, adding to the sense of wisdom and experience conveyed through the artwork. He wears a green jacket, a common color in Biedermeier realism, and a neckerchief, which is knotted around his neck and secured with a brooch. The man's attire is completed with a kerchief, a common accessory during this period. The portrait study is executed in monochrome, with the artist using pencil on paper and raising the white areas to create depth and texture. The use of color would have been added during the final painting, but this study provides a fascinating glimpse into the artist's process and the intricacies of the clothing and accessories of the time. The concept of the Homecoming of the Landwehrman was a popular theme during the Biedermeier period, representing the return of the soldier from war and the reunion with his family. This portrait study is a testament to the artistic movement's focus on the everyday life and the importance of personal connections.
