Alois Hauser
The Swabian, 1850 - 1900
About the object
Alois Hauser depicts the Swabian in profile and certainly not by chance. Just as a side view captures the general outline of his head, the profile depicts the characteristic appearance of a person in a transferred sense. Did Hauser want to try his hand at a character study of the "typical Swabian" here?
