Clemens von Raglovich (1766–1836) has his eye on something or someone - probably an adversary. He is watching him alertly. Intuitively he reaches for his dagger, which - like the rival and the soldier’s hands - Krafft has chosen not to show. Fundamental narrative elements are thus left out of the composition. It is precisely in this omission that the picture’s strength lies: nothing distracts our attention from the sitter. With his head turned to the left and his arms pointing in the opposite direction, the pose lends the figure a certain dynamism that symbolizes his mettle and resolve far beyond the scene depicted in the painting. Barbara Krafft is one of the few better-known female artists of the period around 1800. As a woman she was prohibited from studying at an academy, so she was taught by her father who was also a painter. She first exhibited at the Vienna academy in 1786 and became a member, which did not contravene the studying ban. She soon came to be a prestigious portrait painter and confidently signed her depiction of Raglovich “Barbara Krafft pin[xit].”Painting12360772656image/jpegCC-BY-SA 4.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/Foto: Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/4754/fullhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-656/manifest
