Notes
im Kinsky's Lot Essay (translated in English)
They were all young and beautiful, Amerling's female models. The undisputed master of Austrian portrait painting around the middle of the 19th century attached great importance to this, and his success proved him right. He made a name for himself early on as a portraitist of the Austrian aristocracy and upper middle classes. Influenced by the portrait art of the Englishman Thomas Lawrence, whom he met in London in 1827/28, he collected impressions throughout his life on extensive study trips that took him to Italy, Spain, Greece, Palestine and Egypt, among other places, which he incorporated into his works.

Amerling spent the years 1840 to 1842 in Rome. During this stay, he created enchanting portraits of young Italian women in national costume. Our painting can also be dated to this period. The young woman is mentioned by name in Probszt's catalog raisonné: “Regine in Greek costume”. In keeping with Oriental fashion, Amerling created a work that combines genre and portrait and can be seen as a successor to the famous “Oriental Woman” (Probszt no. 420) and “Lute Player” (Probszt no. 431) from 1838.

The sitter served as a model for the artist several times and her features are highly individualized. Regine sits like an Oriental woman propped up on cushions, her legs crossed, on a colorful carpet. Her dreamy gaze gazes into space. A music book lies at her feet, to which she pays no attention; she holds a lute in her right hand, lost in thought. The artist has painted the young woman like a harem girl, showing the viewer his idea of an imaginary Orient.

Amerling's depiction of this dark-haired beauty in her costume of colorful fabrics interwoven with gold brought a touch of the exotic to Biedermeier Vienna, whose citizens embraced this fashion with great enthusiasm. (MS)
