About the piece
Created in 1888 by German artist Felix Ehrlich, this oil painting captures a 'great misfortune' within a cluttered artist's studio. A gentleman in vibrant red period attire leans forward from a straw-seated chair, his face heavy with concern as he inspects the damage to a porcelain doll. The scene is rich with characterful details, from the beer steins on the floor to the Japanese parasol on the wall, all rendered with luminous color and precise brushwork.
