Beautiful portrait of museum quality. In style it is an ode to Rembrandt. Painted by the German artist Friedrich Zundel. An old man is depicted very nicely and full of character. The painting is in excellent condition. A small retouche on the left side. Framed in a classic antique woodcut frame from the early 20th century. A beautiful combination. The signature on the back of the board, which was originally behind the canvas. Zundel studied art at the arts and crafts school in Karlsruhe and on the art academy in Stuttgart. Zundel came into contact with socialist ideas during his studies and began to identify increasingly with the "fight against oppression and exploitation". He married socialist politician and women's rights activist Clara Zetkin. The painting will be carefully packed and sent by registered (insured) mail.
