Johann Gualbert Raffalt, Hungarian Shepherd Boy

Public Domain

The picture attending this post is of the painting Hungarian Shepherd Boy, by the 19th-century Austrian artist Johann Gualbert Raffalt. It’s a lovely little work (only eight by ten inches) of oil on board, no? Yes, lovely. And of value, albeit small.

Which is why the Nazis wanted it.
