This head-and-shoulders portrait of a white-haired man with startlingly blue eyes, painted during the artist's internment at Huyton Internment Camp in Liverpool, has been identified by the sitter's family as fellow internee Wilhelm Hollitscher, former Chief Engineer of the Danube Shipping Company and President of the Vienna Singer Academy. Hollitscher kept detailed diaries of the experience: he recorded his first sitting on 5th August and last on the 21st. Despite the poor conditions at Huyton, Dachinger's artistic output was startlingly prolific and included landscapes, genre scenes, even nudes, as well as vividly coloured portraits. The blue and yellow palette is present in other Huyton portraits. With traditional art materials in short supply, Dachinger and fellow artists executed works in various accessible media, often using discarded newspapers as supports.
