Franz Wilhelm Seiwert

Figürliche Darstellung (Porträt?)
1924

Pen and ink drawing on thin laid paper 25.3 x 16.7 cm Framed under glass. Monogrammed and dated ,FWS 24' in India ink in the composition lower right and above with pencil in Sütterlin in two lines probably with a personally signed dedication (not deciphered, barely legible) 'Für den [...] / von Franz Seiwert.'. - Evenly browned.

According to the kind information from Uli Bohnen, the lateral pencil inscription, which is difficult to decipher today, is most likely a personal dedication of the artist to the sitter if the figure should be interpreted as an abstract portrait in an interior.
