Artist, German, 1897 - 1977

The image displays two people, with their upper bodies visible. The person on the left stands, facing slightly to the left but looking ahead. They have distinct facial features with sharp jawlines and high cheekbones, and styled back hair. The person wears a buttoned-up outfit with long sleeves, and their hands hold the handle of an indiscernible object. On the right, a seated person leans on a table with one elbow. They have a mustache, closely cropped hair, and wear a garment with a wide collar. They hold a pipe, with smoke rising from it. The background shows a textured pattern with a door and linear ceiling design, likely indoors.
