Description

Practically life-size Liszt portrait with poignant Latin quotation

Hungarian Romantic era composer and pianist (1811–1886) whose prowess at the keyboard earned him the reputation as one of greatest virtuosos in the history of the instrument. Original vintage sepia 21.25 x 27 oval portrait of Liszt with his arms folded, signed in black ink, “Non Multa Sed Multum, F. Liszt.” The Latin quote translates to “Not many but much.” In very good condition, with light overall spotting to image and background, a bit lightly affecting the signature, several edge creases and bends, some scattered light surface loss, and some touched up areas to hair and facial area. Without a doubt the largest Liszt portrait we have ever seen, let alone offered. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
