Attributed to August Riedel-Portrait of Thorvaldsen

Attributed to August Riedel (1799-1883)

Portrait of the Danish sculptor Albert (Bertel) Thorvaldsen

Signed with initials and signed by Thorvaldsen

Pen and ink and watercolor on paper

22.5 x 17 cm

Provenance: F.J. Huss; thence inherited by Waldemar Beer

To be dated circa 1833

Thorvaldsen is busy working on the buste of the French Romantic painter Horace Vernet

Thorvaldsen and Vernet met in Rome and became close friends

This watercolor is executed mirror wise as against the large oil by Riedel of more or less the same subject which is kept in the Thorvaldsen Museum in Copenhagen. So it might be the case that the watercolor is after an etching or engraving?

According to Dr Margrethe Floryan, curator of the Thorvalsdsen Museum: "To judge upon the signature is exteremley difficult, not having seen the original version, but indeed it seems likely that the signature on this watercolor is Thorvaldsen’s. It also may be right that August Riedel did the watercolor"
