Unfortunately, nothing is known about the identity of the reading man, whom Emanuel Baschny has rendered here so accurately. With the book propped up on his broad chest and a pair of pince-nez on his nose, the gentleman, engrossed in his reading, does not seem to notice that he is being portrayed. He is somewhere private, perhaps in his garden. Baschny hailed from Moravia and studied at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. Soon after, his portraits and landscapes were regularly seen in exhibitions at the Vienna Künstlerhaus, of which he became a member in 1907. While Baschny’s work is little known today, during his lifetime the painter celebrated much success with his works based on the style of Realism.
