Lady Bateman mit Marion. Um 1900.
Oil on cardboard, rebacked with canvas.
With the estate stamp, a hardly legible handwritten number and the partly stamped, partly handwritten confirmation by Lolo von Lenbach dated February 19, 1937 on the reverse of the canvas. 53.5 x 64.9 cm (21 x 25.5 in).
• Franz von Lenbach rose to become the painter prince of the Munich high society in the late 19th century thanks to his portraits.
• In this portrait, Lenbach captured his eldest daughter Marion (1892–1947) and the American Marion Alice Bateman-Hanbury (née Graham, widowed Knapp), later Baroness Bateman. In July 1904, she married William Spencer Bateman-Hanbury, the third Baron Bateman (1856–1931).
• The frontal view of the subjects, strong contrasts between light and dark, and a sophisticated technique involving delicate, glazed layers of paint allow the artist to create an enigmatic atmosphere.
• Franz von Lenbach's portraits of his daughter Marion are part of important museum collections, including the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, Munich, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
PROVENANCE: Artist's estate, Munich (with the estate stamp on the reverse and the handwritten estate number).
Private collection, South Germany.
