Carl Siegfried Stoitzner, Portrait Of An Old Salt Above A Mantel were still struggling for anyA characterful portrait of a grizzled old fisherman by Austrian painter, Carl Siegfried Stoitzner (1866 1944). He looks towards us with a quizzical expression and a slight smirk perhaps concealing a few tales from the ocean. Portraits of grizzled fisherman are extremely common but most are lacking the depth that you find here. Stoitzner has somehow captured a layer of mystery that brings intrigue and a desire to know more. What stories would he tell?
