FERDINAND MINOR, THE CAVALIER AND THE GIRL

The genre painter Ferdinand Minor was active in Munich from 1836 onwards. His oeuvre is somewhat limited and thus rarely appears on the market. Minor preferred to depict close details and favoured a smooth application of colour and a balanced composition. Our painting must be considered as one of his most important works; it is the only one illustrated by Horst Ludwig in reference to the artist (H. Ludwig, op. cit.).
