The portrait of a young lady in front of a landscape is painted in the Düsseldorf Nazarene style. The young woman wears an old German dress with an elaborate updo and presents herself in profile. The conception is reminiscent of Raphael’s portraits from the Renaissance and can be found similarly received by Wilhelm Schadow. The conception, the colour rendering as well as the modelling correspond to those of his teacher Carl Sohn, who was famous for the special colour treatment of his portraits of women. Works by Solly Fürstenberg are rare on the art market. Due to the high quality of his works, selling them is out of the question for many private individuals.
Solly Fürstenberg studied at the Berlin Art Academy under Carl Wilhelm Wach from 1829 to 1832, exhibitions between 1828 and 1840. after which he went to Düsseldorf from 1832 to 1837 to further his studies under Carl Ferdinand Sohn. After his apprenticeship years he became a drawing teacher at the higher civil and provincial trade school in Trier in 1846.
