(September 6, 1850 Praskolesy, Bohemia - February 6, 1901, Munich, Germany) was a Czech-German painter, famous for his female portraits. He was born in Praskolesy (present-day Czech Republic) but within a few months, his family moved to nearby Hořovice. As a child, he fell seriously ill, could not walk for four years and spent two years in an orthopedic institution. Instead of playing, he started to draw pictures and his artistic talent soon started to emerge. His first teachers were Karel Werbs, inspector of Estates Gallery at Prague Castle, and Alois Kirnig, landscape painter.   Related Paintings of Alfred Seifert :. | Portrait of Mlle.L.L(or Young Girl in Red Jacket) | Still Life with Bloaters and Garlic (nn04) | Portrait of Luis Maria de Borbon y Vallabriga | The ninth bay of the ceiling | Portrait of the Artist s Mother |
