The painter paints the sympathetic drunkard Sir John Falstaff. The character from William Shakespeare's plays "Henry IV" and "The Merry Wives of Windsor". The artist stages his model as a single figure, depicted with or without the expected drinking vessel, as well as in various, chaotic and funny scenes. What all the works have in common is the painter's love of detail and the subtle comedy of the presentation, which never slips into the grave. Last but not least, this special visual effect is also brought about by the fine painting of the figure, the precise observation of its physiognomy and the tonal choice of colours, which give Grützner's works a touch of the old masters.
Eduard Theodor Grützner, since 1916 Ritter von Grützner (May 26, 1846 in Groß-Karlowitz near Neisse, Silesia, Poland; April 2, 1925 in Munich, Bavaria, Germany) was a German genre painter.
