Thanks for looking through Googleimages. Any consensus on the artist ? Heimann J died in Breslau, No signature. The frame has been taken off. My questions are more about why and where and when was this painting done; who is the person; was the hat a sign of wealth; or position in the community; what fur is it made of ? Was this portrait commissioned to mark a special birthday ? For his 70th birthday, his 7 children gave him a silver tree with their names engraved on it.
