Dr. Moriz Kaiserfeld, Edler von Blagatinschegg, Christian Griepenkerl, before 1887

Dr. Moriz von kaiserfeld is depicted standing in three-quarter view. He rests his right hand on his side and looks determinedly at the viewer. In the line of presidents, von kaiserfeld is the predecessor of ritter von hopfen. The dark, indefinite background draws the viewer's attention entirely to the expression on the subject's face. This conveys seriousness and determination. Object Type: painting. Date: before 1887. Dimensions: height: 156 cm (61.4 in); width: 124 cm (48.8 in). Medium: oil on canvas.
