EDITORS COMMENTS
Reinhold Begas's captivating 1877 portrait of Josefa Auguste Hops is a stunning example of 19th century historicism and the Austrian artistic tradition. The lifelike plaster cast, modeled after a marble original, showcases the sculptor's mastery of form and attention to detail. The subject, Josefa Auguste Hops, is depicted in a close-up, three-quarter view, her chubby face framed by a voluminous, intricately styled hairstyle. Her body is clothed in a simple, form-fitting gown, the neckline revealing a hint of cleavage. The woman's gaze is directed away from the viewer, adding an air of mystery and introspection. Begas's use of a grey background emphasizes the sculptural quality of the work, with the contrast between the smooth, plaster surface and the rougher texture of the background enhancing the sense of depth and dimension. The image, taken in the artist's studio, captures the essence of the historic figure, transporting us back in time to the Austrian culture of the 1870s. Josefa Auguste Hops, a historic figure of Austrian heritage, is brought to life through Begas's skilled hand. The sculpture invites us to contemplate the beauty and complexity of the human form, as well as the rich history and artistic traditions of the past.
