A striking large-scale oil on canvas by Alfred Waagner (Austrian, 1886–1960), depicting two uniformed scouts in a sunlit mountain clearing, set against dense evergreens and tall trunks. The scene balances narrative realism with confident, painterly handling: naturalistic anatomy and clothing are enriched by lively brushwork in the grass and foliage, creating depth, atmosphere, and a distinctly Central European outdoor spirit. Signed “A. WAAGNER” (lower right). The work is stretched on its original wooden stretcher and presented in a simple, period black frame, making it ready to display.
