Framed Historical Color Print – Signed “Robert Stolz” (Mid-20th Century)

A decorative framed color print depicting a seated historical nobleman dressed in 17th-century costume, holding a staff and sword. The composition reflects a romanticized historical style, popular in mid-20th century illustration.

The work is signed in the lower right corner: “Robert Stolz.”
Please note: this is not the Austrian composer Robert Stolz, but an illustrator/graphic artist working in historical costume themes.
