AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Genre scene in front of the racecourse (original title "AnTurf", according to the adhesive label on the back) was executed with love to the details around the 1880s. It is signed A. Godin.
Because the artist with this name is unknown, but due to the fully identical style and the German title on the back label, we suppose that this work was executed by renowned Austrian genre painter Moritz Stifter (1857-1905 Mauer-Oehling, Lower Austria), who signed it with a pseudonym (as was usual at the time for commercial reasons).
He was at first an officer and then for several years a student of Piloty at the Academy of Munich. From 1899 onwards he lived and worked in Haag near Neulengbach, Lower Austria. His genre scenes with society, portraits of beauties and oriental genre scenes attained high prices at international auctions (see additional photo).
