Portrait of Christoph Philipp von Nell

Probably commissioned by Georg Friedrich Job von Nell around 1830; given on loan to the foundation of the Vereinigte Hospitien, kept there ever since; shown publicly for the first time in 1929 in the ‘Portraits-Ausstellung Trierer vor 100 Jahren’ catalogue number 116, Trier local group of the West German Society for Genealogy in conjunction with the Mosel Museum of the City of Trier 6 to 14 July 1929; 31 March to 28 April 1935 exhibition of the Rheinisches Landesmuseum Trier and the N. S. Cultural Community Trier; catalogue number 47; The exact loss cannot be reconstructed. During the war, parts of the Vereingite Hospitien were heavily damaged by bombs; the painting may have been burnt. It is possible that the painting was removed (although this cannot be determined from the lists of removals) and was lost in this way. A loss of the painting due to the circumstances of the war cannot be ruled out; no further source/mention of the painting. Whereabouts unknown.
