a grey pony in a stable

He’s leaning back on a barrel and smoking a rather long pipe

While working at the peak of his abilities

Oh to be a fly on the wall during this time and witness the drama unfolding

given the genteel nature of his known work

Late 19th Century Austrian School, Portrait Of A Gentleman Men a grey pony in aThis late 19th century Austrian oil painting depicts a dapper gentleman sporting a black suit, white shirt and blue white striped tie. Stylistically, it resembles the hand of August Eisenmenger (1830 1907). Heres a fellow flourishing during a decade of prosperity and opportunity. Technology was advancing at an exponential rate, society was evolving to cater for the rise of new money, and more people than ever could afford a decent level of tailoring.
