EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Emil Doerstling that captures a moment of relaxation and camaraderie. The focal point of the artwork is Gustav Savac-el-Cher, a soldier born in Berlin in 1868, who is depicted with a warm smile on his face. Dressed in his military uniform, he sits beside a female companion as they engage in music-making. The composition exudes an air of intimacy and affection, with Savac-el-Cher's arm casually draped around the woman's shoulders. Their attire suggests that they are dressed up for this off-duty occasion. The artist skillfully portrays their expressions and gestures, conveying their genuine connection and love for each other. Doerstling's attention to detail shines through in this late 19th-century masterpiece. The vibrant colors and meticulous brushwork bring life to the scene, while the formal attire adds an element of elegance. This painting not only showcases the beauty of art but also provides insight into social dynamics during this period. As we admire "Off Duty" we are transported back to a time when soldiers found solace from their duties through music and companionship. It serves as a reminder that even amidst the rigors of military life, moments of tenderness can be found. This artwork stands as a testament to Doerstling's talent as well as his ability to capture human emotion within his paintings.
