Franz von Lenbach's 1894 portrait of Otto von Bismarck, a prominent figure in German history, is a masterful example of Realism. The painting captures Bismarck's strong personality, with his stern gaze and distinguished military uniform, including a yellow sash, reflecting his powerful position as Minister-President of Prussia. The painting emphasizes Bismarck's authority and the impact he had on shaping the German Empire. This work is a testament to Lenbach's skills as a portrait painter, a reputation he earned through his depictions of other prominent individuals of his time.
