Emil Stwrf, Oil On Canvas. Large Painting Depicting A Soldier.

Very large oil on canvas depicting a decorated military officer, awarded the Legion of Honour and later the Croix de Guerre with two palms. The background is imaginary, perhaps alluding to his military career. The signature, date, and location are present at the top of the canvas: Emil Stwrf, Munich, 1919. Two period restorations are visible on the back of the canvas. The painting is framed in a magnificent giltwood frame with some visible losses due to its age. Dimensions of the canvas with frame: 178.5 cm x 104.5 cm. Dimensions of the canvas alone: 157.5 x 83 cm. Frame thickness: 7 cm. Good overall condition.
