About the piece
Painted in 1892 by the renowned German portraitist Franz von Lenbach, this work depicts Prince Otto von Bismarck in the uniform of the Halberstadt Cuirassier Regiment. The composition uses dramatic chiaroscuro to highlight the statesman's weathered features and the metallic gleam of his spiked helmet, creating a powerful sense of gravitas and historical presence.
