One
of the many portraits of Mozart, shown in profile with his signature
powdered wig and formal attire, reflects the fashion of the 18th
century. This portrait was likely based on one of Leonard Posch's
medallions. Many depictions of Mozart were produced during his
lifetime and after his death, some drawn from the artist's
imagination or second-hand descriptions. While no portrait is
considered a perfectly accurate likeness, this style reflects the
era's artistic conventions, presenting him with an air of elegance
and refinement.
