Emmanuel Jakob Handmann (Swiss, 1718-1781). Oil on canvas portrait of Johann Rudolf Kirchberger (1700-1789). The brass nameplate on the frame reads: " JOH R.R. / AE 53 / Painted by Handman. 1753." One initial is miswritten on the gilt plaque: the last R should be a K. A paper label along the frame verso reads: "O.E. Clifford, Picture Restorer." Thomas Frievogel, author of "Emanuel Handmann (1718-1781): Ein Basler Portratist im Bern des ausgehenden Rokoko," Murten 2002, has confirmed the authenticity of this painting.
