ON DEMAND WE ISSUE A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (money-back-guarantee)


Executed in 1824 by Viennese miniaturist Franz Schneck, it is a portrait of the famous Austrian actress, primadonna of Viennese "Burgtheater" Sophie Schroeder (1781-1868; see image). Since her first performance of Franz Grillparzer's play "Sappho" (see our image) in Vienna in 1818, she shone in the main role for several years, playing Sappho herself (not only in Vienna but also abroad).

Franz Schneck (1773 Vienna - 1857 Vienna) was first mentioned in 1806 as a student of the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. He had obviously (alike many of his fellow-students) studied there, for he was still represented at the academic exhibitions of 1828 and 1835. In 1839 he lived on Wohllebengasse 90 of the Wien-Wieden district of Vienna with his brother Karl (also a miniaturist, though not as skillful as Franz Schneck).
