This portrait of Walter von Molo by Lotte Jacobi is comparable to her portrait of Käthe Kollwitz, which was taken around the same time (1929). Both were members of the Academy of Arts in Berlin (Molo was chairman of the literary section). Until the early 1930s Molo was one of the most popular German authors. During the Third Reich he went into an inner emigration and resigned from all honorary positions. After 1945 he was not able to reestablish his previous success.
