The portrait of a boy here here because of the manner and style is attributed to Austrian-Italian genre and portrait painter Eugen von Blaas (1843-1931). We are not sure about the accuracy of this attribution. The
artist was a son of famous historical and genre painter Carl von Blaas and at first studied under his tutelage, later he continued his education in the Academies of
Venice and Rome. Main topics of Blaas' creative work were portraits and genre scenes with fishemen of Venice, Chioggia and Murano. Eugen von Blaas is listed in
Prof. H. Fuchs' dictionary Austrian Painters of the 19th Century (Vienna, 1972). We have no information about who this boy is. Perhaps a boy in the Italian-speaking area of Austria or perhaps a Venetian boy. Perhaps our Italian readers will have some insights to provide us.
