Otto Piltz
Otto Piltz was a German painter of the last third of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He is known as a painter, illustrator and master of genre painting.
Piltz created paintings of urban and rural scenes, but he is best known for his depictions of children. Traveling to different regions of Germany and Austria, the artist captured the look of local exotic costumes that were already beginning to disappear. In addition to genre scenes, the master also painted portraits, which helped him to secure his livelihood. In 1893, he joined the Munich Secession.
