96 Wilhelm Hecht (1843–1920) - Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria – Etching

This etching by Wilhelm Hecht (1843–1920) is based on an original work by Friedrich August von Kaulbach (1850–1920), a renowned German painter celebrated for his portraits of European aristocracy. The artwork depicts Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria, who ruled from 1886 to 1912 and played a crucial role in shaping Bavaria’s cultural and political landscape. Hecht, known for his fine engraving skills, meticulously translated Kaulbach’s composition into print, preserving the elegance and dignified presence of the Prince Regent. The piece, printed on high-quality Japan paper and mounted on laid cardboard, is a testament to 19th-century portraiture and engraving craftsmanship.
