    Frau Blitzkrieg poisons another damned panhandler. Singlehandedly, she’s clearing the Fatherland’s streets of riffraff.

    She thought he looked a little old for trick-or-treating, but because of the way the tricks have been escalating, she decided to play it safe.

    Frau Blitzkrieg, of course, never knew/ what the kiddies had dropped in her stew/ but she might have been pleased/ as the dying man wheezed/ that her offspring were murderous, too.

    On a hiking trip

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ernst_Hader_Auf_der_Wanderfahrt_1869.jpg 

    (best viewed by Google Chrome, with Google Translate added to chrome://extensions, which can automatically translate most pages as necessary) has info and links that point to more info about this roughly jumbo envelope size painting.

     

    Other than what’s perhaps indirectly pointed to by the title URL, I couldn’t find any online info about this artist (though Wikimedia Commons currently shows over 30 different works by him, he currently has no Wikipedia page in any language). As best I can tell, he was active 1866-1892 (which some list as his lifespan, making him 3 when this was painted). Most say he was born before 1866, but don’t say when, and died before 1922 (I did see 1910; but, that also said he was born in 1866; so, I can’t really trust its accuracy). First work by him used here.
