An officer on horseback, presumably a lieutenant-colonel in the infantry, decorated with the Military Cross of Merit, the Iron Cross and the Order of Leopold, stands on the edge of a battlefield and gazes into the distance over burning ruins. This imposing portrait of monumental character is part of a heroic culture of remembrance of the lost First World War that was common in Austria and Germany in the 1920s and 1930s.
