Portrait of Dr. Elisabeth Winterhalter 1902

Ottilie W. Roederstein's "Portrait of Dr. Elisabeth Winterhalter" (1902) is a realist oil painting that depicts the subject in a formal pose, dressed in a dark garment against a neutral background. The artist uses light and shadow to create a sense of depth and volume, emphasizing the subject's features and the texture of her clothing. The painting is housed at the Städel Museum and serves as a testament to the talent of Roederstein, a lesser-known artist in the history of portraiture. Roederstein's work is known for its strong focus on realistic depiction, often portraying individuals from the medical field.
