Waldemar Unger II 1903

"Waldemar Unger II" (1903) is a portrait by Austrian artist Richard Gerstl, known for his expressive and often melancholic style. This painting captures Unger, a friend of the artist, with a sense of introspective vulnerability. Gerstl utilizes bold brushstrokes and a limited palette, resulting in a powerful and intimate portrayal of the subject. The artwork stands as a testament to Gerstl's unique talent for capturing raw emotion and the human condition, a style that would tragically come to an early end with his death in 1908.
