ANSELM FEUERBACH (SPEYER 1829-1880 VENICE)

This drawing could be a self-portrait of the artist, as was already tentatively suggested by Agnes Mongan (op. cit.). Several painted self-portraits by Feuerbach are known from different periods in his life (J. Ecker, Anselm Feuerbach. Leben und Werk. Kritischer Katalog der Gemälde, Ölskizzen und Ölstudien, Munich, 1991, nos. 4, 54, 107, 133, 161, 255, ill.). If indeed it depicts the artist himself, the present sheet can be dated around 1850.
