Descriptio Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 76 x 61 cm (with frame) / 63 x 48 cm (without frame). The portrait in the auction was painted in Alexandru Dimitrie Ghica’s youth, being the only known and preserved portrait before he became ruler of Wallachia.

The work was created in the early 1810s and is kept in the Schwarz collection, having been registered at the Banat Art Museum since 1956. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
