Late 19th Century Austrian School, Portrait Of A Gentleman Men While working at the peakThis late 19th century Austrian oil painting depicts a dapper gentleman sporting a black suit, white shirt and blue white striped tie. Stylistically, it resembles the hand of August Eisenmenger (1830 1907). Heres a fellow flourishing during a decade of prosperity and opportunity. Technology was advancing at an exponential rate, society was evolving to cater for the rise of new money, and more people than ever could afford a decent level of tailoring.
