Aucktionshaus Hargesheimer & Gunter, Dusseldorf, DE has recently listed this fine figure study by the well listed Swiss artist Eduard Stiefel (1875-1968). He was a painter, Illustrator, and commercial artist. Unfortunately I could not find much in the way of biographic information other than he was initially trained as a lithographer at the Munich Academy and later taught at the School of Graphic Arts in Zurich. I just wonder if this could possibly be a self-portrait? The painting is described in the lot as "Herrenakt vor sommerlicher Seekulisse" (Male Nude Against a Summer Lakeside Panorama). The painting is signed and dated 1919. I am awed by the composition and the artist's color palette.
