Emil Plesko - Woman and Child. Oil on board genre scene depicting a woman and child in traditional dress, rendered with subdued palette and expressive brushwork typical of late 19th-early 20th century Central European genre painting. The figures are presented in an intimate, narrative composition emphasizing domestic connection and quiet emotion.
The reverse bears the original artist's label for Emil Plesko, identified as a gilder and decorative painter working in Munich, supporting period attribution and continental origin. The painting is unsigned on the front but retains strong stylistic consistency with academic-trained genre painters active in Bavaria and neighboring regions during this period.
Presented unframed. Surface wear, edge losses, and age-related abrasions consistent with use and storage. An evocative and well-preserved example of period genre work with intact artist attribution on verso.
