Straub, presented within a decorative oval frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lithograph by the Swiss artist Wilhelm Suter depicts A. Straub, a portrait painter from Baden. Executed in 1827, the work reflects the stylistic conventions of the Biedermeier period, which favoured clarity, precision, and a focus on the individual within a domestic or professional context. The sitter is presented in a three-quarter view, wearing a soft cap and a simple, buttoned waistcoat, suggesting the attire of an artist or craftsman of the era. His gaze is directed towards the viewer, conveying a sense of quiet observation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe portrait is framed within an oval border, which is itself set against a rectangular, decorative surround featuring scrolling foliate motifs. This ornamental frame provides a structured contrast to the naturalistic rendering of the figure. The composition is balanced, with the sitter positioned centrally, allowing the viewer to focus on the facial features and the subtle shading of the clothing. The use of lithography allows for fine, delicate lines and soft tonal transitions, which Suter employs to create a sense of volume and texture in the fabric and the sitter's hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow the image, the Roman numeral V and the inscription 'A. Straub, Portraitmaler a. Baden\/B.' identify the subject and his profession. This inclusion of biographical detail is characteristic of portrait series from the early nineteenth century, where such prints served as documentation of contemporary figures. The work is a clear example of the technical proficiency required in lithographic portraiture during this time, demonstrating a disciplined approach to form and light. The muted palette and the clean, graphic quality of the print make it a refined example of early nineteenth-century European portraiture, suitable for those interested in the history of graphic arts and the social documentation of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/poisson-et-algues-papier-peint-pigeon-et-pavots-bordure-de-vitrail-maurice-pillard-verneuil\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePoisson et Algues, Papier Peint \/ Pigeon et Pavots, Bordure de Vitrail - Maurice Pillard Verneuil — Maurice Pillard Verneuil\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/beyond-human-forces-part-2-edouard-vuillard\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBeyond Human Forces (Part 2) - Édouard Vuillard — Édouard Vuillard\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wilhelm Suter","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58790003278159,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58790084510031,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58790084542799,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58790084575567,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58790084608335,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58790084641103,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58790084673871,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58790084706639,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58790084739407,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58790084772175,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58790084804943,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58790084837711,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portret-van-A_Poster_CompositorV1_1789488579946.jpg?v=1789488914","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/portret-van-a-straub-wilhelm-suter","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
