Oil On Canvas Help

Hi all,
My friend just sent photos of this painting she picked up - 24" x 28" oil on canvas. Signed on the lower right corner Berthold, marked on the back of the canvas and the frame A29-682-859.
Any ideas on artist? I'm not finding anything.
Any information appreciated
thanks for looking

 

Thank-you IHN that is a great site, thanks for posting it!

 

that so belongs in a german/ austrian restaurant !

 

original painting most probably in the style of Münchner Schule (1850 - 1914). this here seems to be mass-produced and the canvas seems new.
the phone no. on the back may be an article no.

 

thank-you Fid Yes, the more I look at the photos the more I think this is new, komokwa has the right idea, great decor for a restaurant or deli!

 

true. for a German restaurant with Oktoberfest, Weisswürschtl and other inhuman atrocities amazingly these paintings originally sold best in the US outside Germany already when they were new. they were thought for the masses that felt exiled in the industrial cities and were homesick for the countries they came from.

 

lol, thanks again Fid

 

reminds me when Michael Portillo - in his series continental railway - is taught to eat Weisswürste in Munich and tries to pronounce the verb Zuzeln, which is the way to suck these sausages empty. hilarious.

 

Thanks, but looks gross!!!!!! (to meeeee) Is it raw or steamed????

 

boiled in water.

 

Sounds much more palatable then!!!

 

Seems similar to eating a mudbug. You pinch the tail and suck the head.
