Hermann Faber, German-American, 1832-1913, o/c, a lion feasting on his kill, titled "Repast" on a partial exhibition label verso, signed lower right, not dated, 30" x 42", unframed. Faber was a trained artist who came to America and worked as an Army Medical Illustrator during the Civil War.

All of these paintings came from the same estate.
