Adolf Eduard Herstein

Born in Warsaw, he worked and taught in France, Germany (where he was active in the Berlin Secession movement) and his native Poland.

His oil painting relied on the use of heavy impasto and was in style closely related to Impressionism.

She was pregnant with Herstein's child when in 1895 she married the politician Walter Lübke.

An engraving of his called 'The Standard Bearer', is in the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), New York collection.

There are two works from the years 1914- 1915 held by the Brooklyn Museum, New York.
