Teodor Ilić Češljar

Češljar was born in 1746 in Čurug and died on November 20, 1793, at age 47 in Bačko Petrovo Selo (both now in Serbia).

Alongside this, he drew several icons for the lower church in Sremski Karlovci and iconostasis of Kovilj monastery which was destroyed in 1848.

According to quotes from Teodor Ilić Češljar biographies,[2] he was a great colorist and exceptionally inventive in composure.

He, as his coeval, leaned to softer and more gentle colors, silky facture glaze painting just like French masters of Rococo.

On these portraits, Češljar proved to be a master of drawing and also a subtle and aesthetic colorist as he did with icons.
