(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 :. | St Benno | Portrait of Louis XVIII in his coronation robes | Allegory of Chastity | Portrait of Frederick William I of Prussia | Fishing Boats and Coasting Vessel in Rough Weather |
