New Mozart Portrait Found

From telegraph.co.uk



A portion of the article:

A rare portrait of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart has been unearthed which gives a true picture of the famous composer's looks at the height of his fame.

Wofgang Amadeus Mozart by Barbara Kraft, and a new portrait of him probably painted by Joseph Hickel. The new portrait (right) could change the established but post-humous image of Mozart by Barbara Kraft (left)

It shows him in 1783, aged 27, dressed in a red tunic and a white ruff, with a wig of grey hair and an elegant but slightly hooked nose.
