Otto Peters (1882 - 1970) PORTRAIT OF ANTONÍN ŠVEHLA

Otto Peters was a highly skilled and sought-after painter of politicians and businessmen, and also painted a portrait of T.G. Masaryk. The subject of this portrait, Antonín Švehla, combined both categories of Peters' clientele – he was a capable politician, who was even nominated for the office of president, and a wealthy landowner.
