Franz Seraph von Lenbach (German, 1836-1904)A Portrait of a lady, said to be Maria von Komma playing the harpsigned and dated 'f. Lenbach / 1898' (lower right)oil on canvas98 x 123cmProvenance:By descent from the sitter, great-great-grandmother of the present ownerFootnote: According to family tradition, the sitter in the present portrait, Maria von Komma (circa 1872-1935), was aged about 25 when she sat to Lenbach. She lived between Munich and Vienna, earning her living as a musician, playing the harp, and as an artist’s model. Her striking red hair made her a popular muse for Munich artists of the time, and it has been suggested that she was at some point romantically involved with Lenbach. Maria was a painter herself. She was mostly self-taught, but she is also said to have been trained by Franz von Stuck and Lenbach himself. She later married General Ludwing von Komma, with whom she had a daughter, Gabriella Steiner-Pichler (b. 1900). The only other known portrait of a lady with a harp was painted by Lenbach in 1896, of the famous singer Lillian Sanderson (1866-1947).Condition report: 143 x 166cm framedOil on canvas which has been lined. The canvas tension is good and the picture is in plane. The paint layers are in a good, stable condition overall. There is some wear and abrasion, notable in the paler areas of the flesh. Fine retouchings have been applied to the face and arm to cover abrasion and are well matched to the original. There are minor retouchings in the background. The varnish is glossy and even with a light layer of surface dust. The reverse of the canvas is very dusty.
