Portrait of Moses Mendelssohn, after Frisch

Oil on canvas (lined), retaining an old canvas label reading "J. C. Frisch / 1783," presented in a period composition frame with label reading "Kunstsammlung der Judischen Gemeinde Berlin."

SS 22.75 x 18.75 in.; DOA 31.5 x 27 in.

After the portrait by Johann Christoph Frisch (1738-1815), completed in 1783.

Black light inspection reveals a masking varnish, making the determination of touch-ups difficult; several abrasions in the lower right corner; the original canvas is lined and placed on new stretchers; some scattered loss to the frame.
