I have a German painting, head and shoulders of an old fashioned. stocky older red headed man whom I call the Burgermeister. Almost life sized with a flat hat, and he looks solid and 1800s. But on the back it says it was made in the early/mid 1940s near Berlin. I love him, he looks like some pictures my German Grandmother used to have. I got him at a library silent auction. When I learn to post pictures I'll show it. He's very dignified, might even be of a German Officer, since it must have cost more to have his portrait painted than the regular German could afford at that time and place in war time.
