summary
Provenance:

A fine example of Priechenfried’s Realist style, this painting is reminiscent of the portraiture of the artist’s contemporary, Isidor Kaufmann. Famed as a genre painter of the Vienna School, Priechenfried’s oevure included many portraits of Jewish subjects.
For a very similar painting executed by Priechenfried, see Sotheby’s Judaica, 19th December 2018, Lot 140.
Finely restored. 16.5 x 21 inches (42 x 53.3 cm).
