Otto Strassmann, Portrait of a Sailor, Vintage Oil Painting

1920 - 1940
Description

A characterful early 20th-century portrait of a sailor by German painter, Otto Strassmann (1891-1956). This is one of Strassmann’s finest works and it’s full of expression.

Note the moisture in the deep-set eyes, the ruddy cheeks and the worn skin - aged by years of sea air. Imagine the stories he could tell… if only we knew.

The painting is signed in the lower right.

Medium: Oil on canvas

Overall size: 18½” x 21” / 47cm x 53cm

Year of creation: c. 1930

Provenance: German

Condition: One or two minor paint losses but very presentable overall. Frame with some light age-related wear.
