PRIECHENFRIED, ALOIS HEINRICH.

Oil on board. Signed by artist upper left. Finely framed. 4.75 x 3.75 inches.

Austrian, (1867-1953):

A very fine example of Priechenfried’s realist style, this portrait is reminiscent of the portraiture of his contemporary, Isidor Kaufmann. Famed as a genre painter of the Vienna school, Priechenfried’s oevure included many portraits of Jewish subjects.
