19th century painting of girl, alcohol & kitten by Alfred Schwartz
30.25"W *34"H.

David's notes: Schwartz's work follows more or less the naturalistic quality of Victorian painting in the 2nd half of the 19th century that paid strict attention to detail and tended to favor the genre scenes of Austria and Germany, ie Monks drinking, children playing, cats and dogs, etc.Schwartz was on top of his game when he painted this work, it is large, dramatic and well executed.There is a small patch in the back, but otherwise nice condition with restoration over less than 15% of the surface. The signature: Alf.Schwartz, large and visible in the upper left hand corner.See the photo on the left, scroll down.

Good overall condition.
