Josef Kriehuber

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white portrait of a man in a military-style uniform. The man has short hair, and his body is angled slightly to the left. He wears a dark jacket with a high collar and several buttons down the front. There are two rows of decorative trim on the front of the jacket. A large medal hangs from a ribbon around his neck. The background is off-white. Text below the portrait reads "KARL JOSEPH MEYER" in capital letters, followed by smaller text in a foreign language. Small oval and illegible text appear on the left and right sides of the portrait.
