Leisser captures a moment frozen in time, transporting us to the year 1911. Titled "scene in a castle park," this masterpiece invites us to step into a bygone era.

the artist, martin b. Leisser, born in 1845 to german immigrant parents in pittsburgh, had a lifelong passion for art nurtured in the rustic surroundings of his south side neighborhood. This very passion led him on a journey of artistic discovery, which eventually brought him to europe, where he honed his skills under the guidance of eminent mentors in munich and paris.

the artwork transports us to a tranquil medieval bridge near a german castle. In the painting, elegantly dressed men and women, reminiscent of the time between the 19th and 20th centuries, grace the scene. Towering trees behind the castle building create a harmonious backdrop, evoking a sense of nostalgia and serenity.

the painting is executed with oil on either cardboard or thick paper, mounted on the back of another painting. The signature of martin b. Leisser is hidden behind the high-quality baroque frame. The piece is dated "1911". While the artwork is in excellent condition for its age, there is a minor scratch at the lower left.

martin b. Leisser's impact on the pittsburgh art community extends far beyond his canvases. His dedication to teaching and support for aspiring artists, including luminaries like andy warhol, through his art fund solidify his place in the annals of art history. This piece has an attribution mark,
