Art Connoisseurs

Otto Greiner (signed by artist), 1912

The depiction of the nude was central to Greiner’s interests. He made many life drawings from naked models and believed that the human body was the epitome of natural beauty. His taste was obviously shared by these two art connoisseurs. They use a magnifying glass to fully appreciate the subject on the easel, an impression of Dürer’s engraving of Adam and Eve.
