There’s a surprising dearth of drawings available to publish, considering the many hundreds, probably thousands, that would have been made by both the Strackés and the Arendzens over the course of decades. If anyone has any drawings that I could use on the website, please get in touch.
Pencil portrait, probably by Leo Arendzen.
Picture 6 of 12
This very finely executed drawing appears to be of Leo. The date of the drawing fits in with this assumption – July 1897 – when Leo would have been 22 years old. However, the picture is unsigned, so we can't be certain it was a self-portrait but the style is very much that of Leo.
