Oil on board, 16x11 cm, signed and dated 92. *Sir John Falstaff is a fictional character who appears in three plays by William Shakespeare, as well as in operas by Giuseppe Verdi and Otto Nicolai. Though primarily a comic figure, Falstaff still embodies a kind of depth com-mon to Shakespeare’s major characters. A fat, vain, boastful, and cowardly knight, Falstaff leads the apparently wayward Prince Hal into trouble, and is ultimately repudiated after Hal becomes king.
After Eduard Von Grutzner, Sir John Falstaff*
