Hermann Hanaczek (1873-?): Standing Male Nude - Circa Late 19th Century

                                                                           *
I was cruising my regular haunts this morning and found a very nice quality male nude by Hermann Hanaczek (1873-?). It was reasonably priced and I bought it for my collection. The Gallery also had another male nude but I could afford only one so I chose what I considered technically the best. Unfortunately there is scant biographical information on Hanaczek other than a notation I found that he was "active in NY."
