Stunning oil painting purportedly by Henry Thomas Schaffer (1854-1914) of Frankfurt, Germany. Signed indistinguishably on front. Henry Schaffer's name is written on the back but not in Schaffer's hand, it looks as though the painting has been re-lined since it was originally painted. In Gilt frame. Very well painted and in excellent condition.
