• DESCRIPTION: An 1879 etching by the Vienna-based artist William Unger after William Merritt Chase’s 1876 portrait The Smoker, depicting the young American painter Frank Duveneck. Seated informally, Duveneck wears a Dutch-style hat and smokes a long clay pipe while holding a print after Frans Hals, reflecting the influence of Dutch painting on the Munich circle. Unger, known for his refined interpretations of both Old Masters and contemporary painters, translated Chase’s lively brushwork into a graphic language that traveled widely through printed portfolios in Europe and the United States.
