# Portrait of a Young Girl [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [AMERLING, Friedrich von]() - Date: 1801-1850 - Technique: Oil on panel, 52 x 43 cm ## Commentary Amerling worked in a style that combined the elegance of British portraiture with the realism of the Viennese Biedermeier tradition. His sitters included not only members of the royal family but also the wealthy upper classes, prominent citizens and even fellow artists. He also produced a number of portrait studies such as this picture, which show just the sitter's head. These studies are notable for their spontaneity and immediacy. ## Related artworks - [Countess Nákó]() - [Emperor Franz I of Austria in his Coronation Robes]() - [Girl in Yellow Hat]() - [Likeness of a Girl]() - [Maiden with a Straw Hat]() - [Portrait of Count István Széchenyi]() - [Portrait of Princess Marie Franziska von Liechtenstein Aged Two]() - [Rudolf von Arthaber with his Children]() - [Self-Portrait]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
