About the workThe Baltic painter Eduard von Gebhardt’s figures are characterised by highly pronounced facial expressions and gestures, which he prepared in numerous detailed studies. After the death of the artist, who lived in Düsseldorf from 1860 and was a professor at the art academy for many years, some of them entered the art school’s collection. Unfortunately, the purpose of this study is unknown. Von Gebhardt, a Protestant, specialised in biblical motifs, which he often transposed to the period in which the Christian denominations became divided in the sixteenth century.
